Tahuna Torea Nature Reserve

Tahuna Torea nature reserve

Tahuna Torea nature reserve is located on New Zealand's North Island,
at Wai o Taiki bay on the banks of the Tamaki river close to Glendowie.

The car park is at the bottom of West Tamaki road. All the tracks is about
7km combined and will take roughly 2 hrs starting from the car park,
just note that the track from Cable Beacon Point to the spit is only
accessible during low tide.

The Tamaki river is tidal, so best views will be during high tide,
at low tide... you can expect quite a dramatic change in scenery.

But low tide also creates a whole different experience when a long
sand bank extending out into the Tamaki Estuary opens up towards
Bucklands Beach. And its also during this time that you can cross
the mudflats back to Cable Beacon Point, just be aware that you have
a good chance of getting shoes wet crossing over streams.

The walk starts beside a freshwater pond where you can observe ducks
and Pūkeko feeding. The boardwalk curves over a small swamp of flax and
cabbage trees, taking you past the lagoon walk to Sandspit beach.

The reserve also offers a bush walk with lookouts to observe birds in
the lagoon and views over the sandspit.
