Embark on a hike along the Escarpment Track, a segment of the renowned Te Araroa Trail. This 10km trek ascends to 220m above sea level and typically takes about 3 hours, depending on your fitness level and pace. This challenging hike includes 1,200 steps along the way.
Take in breathtaking views of the Kāpiti Coast and Kāpiti Island, with opportunities for a traditional kiwi morning tea, lunch, and plenty of fantastic photo opportunities.
The walk concludes in a delightful coastal village, where refreshments are available (at your own expense), and perhaps even a swim in the ocean, before you board the coastal train back to the city. This offers a chance to reflect on your journey along the ridgeline above, with a true sense of accomplishment after mastering the iconic Stairway to Heaven.
For those with extra energy and time, the adventure can continue beyond the northbound finish. Feel free to walk back in the opposite direction and catch a train from the nearby station whenever you’re ready to return.
