The walk begins at Maungawhau (Mt Eden); the site of a majestic Pa (Maori strategic stronghold). You will walk past iconic Auckland landmarks, stopping along the way at places of historical significance to the Maori. After a brief break the journey continues through the heart of the city, before coming to an end at the edge of the Waitemata Harbour on Auckland’s waterfront.
