The walking track starts from the beach near the Holiday Camp or from the lower end of Seaforth Road, it is mowen grass and leads across the base of the hill before climbing up to the top where there is an amazing viewpoint overlooking the Holiday Camp and the full length of Waihi Beach. The 360-degree views take in the Pacific Ocean and off-shore islands on the horizon, the entrance to the inner waterway behind Matakana Island, the steep bush-covered Kaimai Ranges behind the coast and right down the coastline to the Mount at the other entrance of the inner harbour. The track is steepish, mowen grass but is well-worth the climb to enjoy these awesome views.
You can also drive to the end of Seaforth Rd up on the headland where there is a car-parking area and the same mown grass track leads up the hill from the opposite side, so you are able to see the harbour views and complete the loop track.
