Important Note: the Te Henga Walkway is closed due to multiple slips and landslides. This is a long-term event.
Presently, Raetahinga Point is as far as you can go on the Te Henga Walkway from the south, with the track closed shortly after the point. It takes about 40 to 45 minutes from O’Neill Bay to get to the point, with a drop-down from 180 metres at the high point on the cliff to 100 metres at the point. Much of the track has fabulous views over O’Neill Bay, with some views towards Muriwai.
Once at Raetahinga Point, it’s just a few steps on a clay surface to get to find the best viewpoints. The views to the south along O’Neill Bay and on to Te Henga are breathtaking, but on a nice weekend, you won’t be alone.
