For a longer, more challenging loop walk, the Mokoroa Stream Track leaves the Goldie Bush Walkway at the Mokoroa Stream crossing and follows the stream, crossing it a number of times, before exiting on the true left just below the Mokoroa Falls.

The track climbs steeply to reach the Mokoroa Falls Track, where a new lookout platform offers views of the falls. Continue along the waterfall track and turn right at the junction with Goldie Bush Walkway to return to Constable Rd. A left turn at the junction will take you to the exit at Horseman Rd.

Getting there

The Mokoroa Stream Track is near Muriwai, approximately 45 km from Auckland City. To get to Muriwai, take SH16 and turn left at Muriwai Rd.

Starting at Constable Rd, you must first start the Goldie Bush Walkway. The Mokoroa Stream Track leaves the Goldie Bush Walkway at the Mokoroa Stream crossing.

Plan and prepare

Dogs are not permitted on the tracks because of the threat they pose to stock and wildlife. Exceptions include certified guide dogs and permitted hunting dogs.
