Short, steep walk and a little bit of climbing is required at the top of the rock. Chain have been installed to hold on to. Peak is 212m and views are amazing! If visiting in a big camper van there is limited turning space on hospital road however there is a small parking area just after the turn for Hospital Road by the Harbours edge. Watch out for cows!

Difficult walk up and a little climbing. Views are fantastic!

10 points for the beautiful view! An incredible hidden walk.
We did it during rain, therefore it was a dangerous and extremely slippery climb up and especially down!
We slid down several times in the mud.
So I would recommend to do this when it's dry.
Takes about 15-20 minutes. A little steep, but no problem because of the short way.

Short but steep track rewards you with the best 360 views over wonderful Whangarei Harbour. Gorgeous!

Beautiful views after a short hike - perfect stop along the way to get out of the car but not take too much time, We only saw one other group of hikers, really nice!

A 20 minute path that leads to the summit of St Paul. From here you have a fantastic view!

Great walk! Very short hard work (20min) up the hill and on the rock. Great, spectaculair views over the harbour. Surprisingly high and amazingly beautiful for such a short walk.
