Excellent Short Walks in the North Island

Wherever you are in the North Island you’re sure to be within reach of a short walk with an excellent destination.

Peter Janssen has hand- picked more than 250 short but memorable walks throughout the mainland and offshore islands. All walks will suit those who enjoy walking but do not want a long tramp with heavy boots and a pack, or travellers who are short on time and those with young families.

Every walk includes a highlight, whether it’s an historic landmark such as Kerikeri’s Stone Store; a spectacular natural feature, such as the Craters of the Moon near Lake Taupo; or simply a great view, such as can be had from Makorori Point on East Cape or Wellington’s Mt Victoria. Each description includes: * highlight(s) * how to get there * grade and duration.
