It was hot, but what a lovely walk. The road to thd carpark is narrow so tske your time. Once there, it is easy to follow the well signposted track which winds up and down around the headland to Godley Heads. We saw seals, swimmers divers, boaties. Its not too strenuous and the track is a good walking surface and quite wide.

Rapaki Track

Reviewed By JDA60 - Virginia Beach, United States

There is street parking near the trail head, not much shade (just a little at the beginning), it is not a difficult walk but it can be strenuous as you get close to the summit as it is a bit steep. The views at the top are amazing and well worth the walk. Nice to have such a great track so close to the city.
