   Orokonui Lagoon Walk is a perfect hiking track for beginners and those who enjoy easy walking. The trail is well-maintained, surrounded by lush greenery, and offers stunning views of the lagoon. The towering trees and fresh, crisp air make the experience even more refreshing. It’s a peaceful place to connect with nature and spot some local wildlife. However, getting here can be a bit tricky. It’s quite far from Dunedin city centre, and the nearest bus stop in Waitati is still a considerable distance away. Plus, the bus schedule is limited, so planning your trip carefully is essential. Despite the transport challenges, it’s definitely worth visiting for a relaxing nature walk!

   The best walk ever, so many many to see, some short uphills mixed with mostly easy walking, all on a gravel track.

   A very nice walk but the signage could be improved, it is confusing at times. The maps at the information points are good (take a photo of them, makes life easier) but the online maps are poor. Usual confusion between DOC (no dogs) and DCC (dogs on a leash). Best to ignore DOC who seem to have a pathological dislike of dogs.

   We enjoyed our walk around the Lagoon. Sign for the path a little confusing in the village as it was a different name. Mostly the walk is easy though at one side of the Lagoon there are some steepish parts to the path for people who are less mobile or steady on their feet. Lovely to see the bird life.

   Mint easy walk with some native bush & native bird life, takes about 45mins to do a loop, try time it for when the tide is right in for the best views, still great anytime though

   Conservationists have done a fabulous job restoring this natural habitat, breathing life into what was derelict neglected scrub from early settlers mismanagement of land with no understanding of natural equilibrium or sustainability...Delightful walk. Saw 20 Pukeko which is a record for me and testament to the restoration project.
