Hūnua Traverse to open 1 December

November 24, 2023

The Hūnua Traverse will open in full on Friday 1 December, providing a 44.5km two-way link between Auckland (Clevedon) and Waikato (Kaiaua) via the stunning Hūnua Ranges Regional Park.

Following last summer’s gnarly weather, the central connector on this Ngā Haerenga Heartland Ride was closed due to road instability, meaning the Hūnua Traverse has – until now – only been opened as two unconnected segments.

Our website will be updated shortly with the new map and elevation information – keep your eyes peeled.
