Te Ara o Whareroa
Walk or cycle this wide, mostly flat trail along Kāpiti Coast’s dunelands, from Raumati to Paekākāriki.
Queen Elizabeth Park has the largest area of naturally occurring sand dunes on the Kāpiti Coast. There are several trail options across different landscapes, and most are suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. It suits people of all ages and abilities.
The main park entrance is at Mackays Crossing but there are multiple access points along the way.
The most popular trails in the park are Te Ara o Whareroa and the Coastal Track.
Te Ara o Whareroa is an easy 6km sealed path running north to south through the park. It’s a popular way to travel between Paekākāriki and Raumati South by bike or on foot. The trail connects with the Kāpiti Expressway shared path via Poplar Avenue and to Whareroa Farm via the Mackays Crossing underpass.
As its name suggests, the Coastal Track follows contours of the coast. It’s an easy ride for walkers and bikers and boasts beautiful coastal views.
