It was one of the most popular spots for walkers. Hunua ranges in the east of Auckland about 40 mins drive from CBD.

I started a bit late around midday and reached there about 1 p.m, we checked out hunua village quite a small and peaceful one. on our way to hunua falls we found small falls and we quickly halted for few mins.

This is right after you pass the hunua quarry. we had fun on our way to hunua village fed some horses on the way XD

there are two tracks the loop walk is a 20 min short walk which takes you near to the falls.I continued on Cossey & Massey loop, Massey track was very muddy and slippery to start off once on the main ridge it was a lot more pleasant. It’s an easy track to go on just a medium fitness and tracking shoes will do well.

some snaps I took on the way, the track was really pleasant and peaceful and quiet with birds singing along throughout the way. I reach kauri groove after walking for around 2 hrs. The sight of those big trees at the end of the groove was amazing, the thought of what these trees standing tall in their lifetime(probably some decades ) gives goosebumps. I rested for some decent time just admiring the beauty.On my way back the track was too small and muddy.

I reached to hunua falls Lower part and it’s most beautiful sight, I felt the immense power of waterfall lied down there and stayed for some time

Hunua falls and Cossey & Massey loop is a good track for intermediate walkers and medium fitness. All you need is proper shoes as the track is sometimes muddy and slippery.I would love to go there again.

Eat . walk . rest . repeat
