Cape Brett Peninsula is known for its native bush and dramatic views across the Bay of Islands. If you are looking for one of the best overnight hikes, the Cape Brett walkway near Rawhiti is a challenging experience. Cape Brett also features a lighthouse at the end of the long hike, and you can view whales or dolphins below the walkway.
The Cape Brett Track is 16.5km (one way), and the cape takes 8-10 hours to finish because of the many steep sections. The Department of Conservation has ranked this track as Advanced: Tramping Track. There is a turn to Deep Water Cove (an hour side trip) about 10km into the hike and is a great spot for swimming, snorkeling, or diving before starting the harder portion of the hike. If you want to shorten your journey, you can water taxi to Deep Water Cove and start your journey to the Cape Brett lighthouse, which is about 8km. Another option is to start the trail at Rawhiti, reach the lighthouse, and hike to Deep Water Cove, where you can leave by water taxi.
