Information

This track starts at the Mt Fyffe carpark. It is a 45-minute loop through an unusual forest with a number of large hinau trees.

There are also many mahoe, putaputaweta, broadleaf, tree fuchsia and pigeonwood. For a contrast in vegetation the track passes through a stand of kanuka. Classified as 'walking track', the Hinau Track is well formed and suitable for families.
