This informative walk is led by volunteers from the Mangawhai Harbour Restoration Society.
Commencing at the Fishing Club, hear the fascinating history of the infamous ‘Big Dip’ efforts to save the Mangawhai Estuary, the fencing and planting to protect and stabilise the Spit, remnants of the original channel and the continued community efforts to save the critically endangered fairy tern.
This walk is a rare opportunity to be guided across the Mangawhai Spit. This lengthy walk of moderate difficulty will be walking on sand along both the ocean beach and Spit. You will be transported to and from the Spit by boat so a reasonable level on fitness will be required to exit the boat.

- Equipment: Good walking shoes suitable for sand. Bring lunch, plenty of water, sunscreen and hat.
