Introduction

Welcome to our Whangaparaoa Treasure Hunt where you can follow the trail to discover our rich heritage and unlock treasures from local businesses.

The 13 km trail runs from Gulf Harbour Marina to New World Shops and can be walked in either direction. Along the trail you will discover beaches, wonderful views, hidden artworks, find parks and playgrounds and, at our 8 "check points" you will be able to admire local artworks and scan QR codes to access history, competition links and specials from local businesses!

Enjoy a day following our trail enjoying our beautiful Peninsula. A day that promises to be an exciting mix of fun, culture, history, deals and activities with a "splash" of exercise!
