The Cape Brett Track traverses rugged terrain for 16 km through native and regenerating bush. Expect dramatic coastal views; steep cliffs and drop-offs to the side of the track are a feature.

The track begins at Oke Bay, near Rawhiti, and takes you through native forest and along dramatic cliffs to the lighthouse at the end of the cape. From Deep Water Cove onwards, the track gets more challenging and becomes quite exposed with steep drop-offs to the sea below. The area is rich in early Maori history, and the remains of ancient pa sites (fortified villages) are visible at various locations.
Cape Brett is 30 km northeast of Russell.

Don’t forget to purchase your walkway permit through the Department of Conservation website.

Run with Brent Westein and Sue Meltzer on Saturday 13 April 2024.
