Was very slippery because of rain. Need good level of fitness good shoes and no dodgy knees!! Lovely walk tho.

If you like tramping/bush walks this is not to be missed. The walk is on a track rather than a path and there are parts where you are climbing quite steeply but the tree roots are amazing and there is always an easy foothold and handgrip. It is best to start on the Avarua side and this side is very steep and would be difficult to come down and the track is also easier to follow from this side. It is reasonably well signposted with orange markers. It is mostly in the shade so you need insect repellent. There is an awesome view from the top of both sides of the island and the walk over to the other side involves a few stream crossings. We parked our car at the waterfall end and got dropped off at the start but if you don't have a car the walk from the waterfall down to the road to catch the bus isn't bad - all downhill. You can swim at the waterfall at the end of the walk. You do need to be reasonable fit and will need walking shoes - just trainers is fine. It took us about 2.5 hours. Be prepared to get muddy!

This was a good little walk to get the heart pumping and a few challenges swinging down the ropes. We did it by ourselves and got picked up at the waterfall. Something a bit different after the relaxing time we have had.

Excellent work out!!! It is not for the faint hearted at all. You need good walking or tramping shoes/boots with decent tread for grip.The first decent ascent is really vertical clambering up tree roots and you do need a reasonable amount of strength and agility.The track is well marked and visible from the Avarua side, it is very difficult to follow if you come in from the old Sheraton hotel side, the track often is not visible especially when you are doing the stream crossings - so best to do the track from Avarua.

Walked to the needle and then across the whole island. Took 2.5 hours. Was taken by some locals who made it look like a stroll but it's tough and I am reasonably fit. Walking shoes would be better than trainers and it's easy to trip due to the exposed tree roots. Going down is as hard as going up (sometimes it feels as steep as climbing a ladder) but it's all worth it for the breath taking views of the island. Mostly in the shade up take the insect spray.
