Waikare Road

4WD track in the Hawke's Bay region

Waikare Road is an easy Hawke's Bay gravel run through East Coast farmland to a coastal campsite near the Waikari River mouth, fine for most vehicles.

A typical gravel road heading out towards the Waikari River mouth, winding through classic East Coast farmland country. Easy, well-formed, and fine for most vehicles in good conditions, so it's a relaxed outing rather than a technical challenge. Good one for families.

The road stops short of the river mouth, so you'll need to walk the last little bit to get there. The short stroll gets you to the quiet, rugged coastal scenery this stretch is known for.
