For those keen to get out into nature, there is a Katikati walk for everyone, no matter your fitness or age. We love the diverse walks, treks, and hikes our part of the world has to offer, so we thought it would be great to share some of our favourite walks with you. We\u2019ll cover everything from the most popular, to some hidden gems. We\u2019ve included all the essential details, but we do recommend having a chat with our people for further info as some tracks may be closed due to kauri dieback. If you\u2019re interested in learning more about the best Katikati walks, keep reading below!<\/span><\/p>\n

An iconic Katikati walk, the Tuahu Track is close to home, and a local favourite. Only a short distance from Sapphire Springs holiday park (down the road)<\/a> we\u2019re perfectly located for accommodation! The track is part of the Kaimai ranges. Follow the gentle 20 minute boardwalked route through groves of young rimu and kauri trees.<\/span><\/p>\n
This longer walk leads up to the steep and rugged Sentinel Rock Track. Walkways can be a bit difficult to follow, but the views from the top are stunning, and worth the climb. With good visibility you should be able to see the valley below, as well as Mt Te Aroha in the distance. (<\/span>Please stick to the boardwalk! Kauri trees have extremely shallow and wide reaching roots.)<\/span><\/p>\n
This track is situated on Hot Springs road, so our holiday park is perfect for guests who are keen to do the walk to\/from Te Aroha.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
The Tuahu Track is named after the large kauri Tuahu itself. This is connected to its position within a bridle path used by Maori in the 1890\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bring a torch, and ask our staff about the glow worms which can be seen after dark! <\/span><\/p>\n

The spectacular Kauri trees are a short walk from the car park. Great for kids or older people. Carry on up the Kaimais for spectacular views in both directions.<\/span><\/p>\n
