    Wow!! What a find! This was my first time walking Duders today and it was phenomenal! The scenery was amazing with panoramic views. The main walk is the "Farm Loop". Halfway around the loop is an option to walk out to Whakakaiwhare Pa, definitely take this detour that takes you out to the point. It's 30min each way with moderate hills to deal with and totally worth it. If you take the detour out to the point the total walk is just under 6km.

    Beautiful place with amazing outlooks. Be aware that beach access can be tricky and you may find yourself scrambling up the side of a hill. Bring plenty of water and a good sun hat. Be careful on the rocks they can be slippery.

    Beautiful scenery at Duder Regional Park. It was a bit windy today, so we only managed to get a taste of what there is to offer. Follow the red marked posts for the Farm Loop and blue for the Whakakaiwhara Pa Walk, which we will definitely come back and do another day. Plenty of farm animals to see and seats to enjoy the scenery. Car parking could be scarce when busy and toilets near the start

    Awesome view! Huge parking space. Great for family on a picnic as there are tables and chairs to eat. It has 3 trails to follow. Yellow, Red, and Blue. Went on a blue trail and you can finish within an hour for medium speed. including pausing to relax and take a view shots. Blue track is not ideal for kids as there are cliff paths. Red and Yellow need adults to follow just in case kids will run to the cows๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‰

    Get out and into Duder for whatever is troubling you. Whether it's those dafties at work, some ratbag broke your heart, your best jandals bust a plugger - whatever is tearing your nightie will be forgotten once you have taken a stroll along the clifftop. Please note this place is not suitable for jumping - due to the geographical features there is a high likelihood of survival. Gaze out over the big blue for an amazing view of the posh alkies on Waiheke rolling around roaring drunk in their vineyards protesting against the 21st Century and everything in it. On a good day you can see all the way to the tip of the Coromandel. There's also heaps of geocache to find nestled among the sheep. Sometimes there are bulls in a field you need to cross. This seems to be a theme in Auckland Regional Parks. Hikers beware they can smell fear ๐Ÿฎ

    The Farm Loop is amazing. This time of the year is especially good to meet all the baby lambs. It's an easy walk with lots of up and down on the green.

    A beautiful Regional Park, a working farm with breathtaking coastlines. Rolling meadows and moderate hills make this an easy and relaxing three hour walk.

    Great place to pack a backpack filled with snacks. Find a bench along the path. Then sit back. Enjoy the view and snacks. What an awesome spot 40min from Auckland.

    Headed to Duder Regional Park recently, instead of doing the Farm loop or walking to the Point, we walked the beach. The tide was right we walked all the way to Malua Bay. Lovely bays and stretches of bush, lots of bird life and we spotted a few Yellow Pohutukawas!

    Absolutely fantastic views! Springtime is extra-special, because of the lambs. The farm loop is a bit boggy in places, so be prepared for grubby feet

    Very easy hike from 1hr to 3hrs. Can enjoy the baby blue sea view and sheep by your side. Sit on the chair just look the peaceful view is like a meditation. What else can I say? Just love love love.

    Nice day trip. A nice loop and trail, which leads to the point with an awesome view of the surrounding islands. The walk takes around an hour and a half. You walk through farms land, bush, beach and plenty of hills. Both times I've visited this area, there weren't many people. I think it's an ideal place to take a quiet walk which isn't too far away from Auckland.

    This Regional Park is beautiful! โค And if you take the path and have a nice walk, it takes you out to a lovely, secluded, black sand beach. There's also another path that can take you uphill and I'm sure the view from there is lovely! I went on this walk for New Year's Day with my family! I hope you enjoy taking the time to visit this beautiful place too! โ˜บ

    A great place for a walk on a fine winters day. Just a short drive from the madness of the city.

    (Visited and reviewed on 17 September 2023) Beautiful park with spectacular and unique scenery. Well worth the hike to the top as well via the Farm loop.

  • 5/5 Bando B. 3 months ago on Google โ€ข 7 reviews New
    Fantastic short walk suitable for members of the family of all ages duder national park was an absolute gem , fantastic coastal views as well as farm views. Not too difficult but I recommend lots of sunscreen as well as water as it does get hot out. Also a beach there so pack your swimmers if you want to cool down afterwards.
