“A new type of walking experience for children on Mount Victoria that promotes time spent engaging in the natural environment and encourages families to explore our amazing outdoors.”
The habitat stations along the Matairangi Nature Trail on Mount Victoria reflect and imagine elements of nature. They are based on the habitat of the matuku hūrepo, kapokapowai, tuna, moko pirirākau and wētā.
Each station provides opportunities for kids to step, jump, slide and climb as they walk through and along the nature trail.
Follow our friendly pīwakawaka as you explore, imagine and play. The playful pīwakawaka, or fantail, is one of Aotearoa’s favourite birds. Pīwakawaka dart and dive through gardens, farms, and forests – including here on Matairangi, Mount Victoria.
Getting There
The Matairangi Nature Trail is located on Mount Victoria, east of central Wellington. Mount Victoria is easily accessed by a network of walking and cycle tracks from the surrounding suburbs. The trail starts at the southern intersection of Alexandra Road and Lookout Road near the toilets.
On weekdays, you can take the number 20 bus up to the Lookout, then follow the trail downhill into the city.
