Aongatete Short Loop Walk

Located in Kaimai Mamaku Conservation Park in the Bay of Plenty region

A 1-hour loop walk through attractive lowland forest.

The track begins at the car park at the end of Wright Road. Follow the signposted direction towards the loop tracks, until you come to a track junction.

The Long Loop continues straight ahead. Turn left onto the track signposted for the Short Loop. This track is a gentler, well-graded walk through bush, emerging near the car park after about 50 minutes. Cross the stile and walk down the paddock to the car park.

The Aongatete tracks start at the car park at the end of Wright Road, off SH 2 between Tauranga and Katikati, towards the Aongatete Outdoor Education Lodge. Park in the car park before the gate to the lodge.

You cannot go to the lodge as it is not public land. Contact the lodge manager to organise access.

There are toilets at the entrance to the car park.
