The Waiomu Kauri Walk is a scenic track through native bush, featuring towering kauri and other native trees. Starting near Waiomu, the track follows well-formed paths and boardwalks before extending towards Crosbys, offering a longer walk for those seeking a full-day or half-day experience. Along the route, walkers enjoy glimpses of streams, regenerating forest, and the chance to spot native birds. The trail combines easy walking sections with moderate climbs, making it suitable for most walkers looking to experience the Coromandel’s iconic kauri forest.

Further up the main track the forest becomes more luxuriant and diverse. A 10-minute climb further up the ridge takes you to a stand of mature kauri.
