Aramoana Boardwalk

This track to the boardwalk and saltmarsh starts at the back of the Aramoana Domain on Moana Street. It goes through the Aramoana Ecological Area and winds through native dune and saltmarsh vegetation.

The viewing platform at the end of the boardwalk is a great place to enjoy the rich variety of life on the salt marsh. You can also observe bird life on the mud flats and the range of shipping that passes in and out of the harbour.
