• Two kilometres of coastal public walking track
• The coastal track, a public walkway, is unsealed with steps in some places. People of all ages with moderate fitness enjoy the walk. We suggest wearing comfortable walking shoes.
• The walk, without sculptures, takes about ¾ hour. We suggest you allow two hours to enjoy both the walk and the sculptures.

As the exhibition takes place in our peak summer months we suggest:

• You wear a hat, sunglasses and/or bring a parasol
• Slap-on some sunscreen
• Wear comfortable shoes
• Bring a camera! - essential!

It is an unsealed coastal walkway with steps and is therefore not suitable for baby buggies or strollers.

We suggest you bring infants in a sling or baby backpack, don't forget their hat too!

• Exhibition buses connect the end of the walk with the Waiheke Art Gallery in Oneroa and the Matiatia ferry terminal.
• Walk back to the ferry or the village along Nick Johnstone drive and take the track down to the Matiatia ferry terminal to catch a ferry or take a bus to other destinations on the island.
• Call a Waiheke taxi to take you to your next island destination.

We suggest you enjoy the exhibition, then visit the Waiheke Community Art Gallery and also explore the island's seaside cafes, beaches and tempting cellar doors.

Have a great day on Waiheke Island!
