Ranging from Waitemata Harbour to Manukau, the Coast to Coast Walk is a 16 km hike through Auckland. The walk gives one a glimpse of Maori culture and the breathtaking natural beauty of Auckland. The Coast to Coast walk gives you glimpses of hills, gardens, spectacular architecture and rich heritage enveloped in a mind-boggling topography. This walkway shows you the best that Auckland offers, from museums to colleges, sports clubs, volcanic sites, the iconic Cornwall Park and the One Tree Hill.
Three thousand acres of isthmus land was acquired by New Zealand's first governor, Captain William Hobson, from the Ngati Whatua chiefs in the year 1840. The land has a triangular base stretching 12 km approximately along Waitemata's southern shore with Maungawhau or the Mount Eden at the apex. However, the Maoris continuously fought for land and converted volcanic cones into pa sites (their indigenous residential area). New Zealand’s narrowest stretch of land is the isthmus of Auckland. The isthmus is 9 km from north to south and slightly less than 2 km east to west. The Maoris used this small terrain that connects Waitemata Harbour and the Pacific Ocean to Manukau Harbour and the Tasman Sea for porting canoes. It offers the greatest inland waterway in New Zealand, the Waikato River. The Coast to Coast Walk also passes through Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill Domain.
