My wife and I started our walk around 4pm, going clockwise, starting from the pilot quay corner. I think AllTrails has the trail at 2.2 miles around. It was a beautiful day, and the walk itself wa…Full review by iowacityia

We took the base walk and still can be steep for those with walking issues. There are places to stop and rest along the way. The views are magnificent.Full review by TravelingMomGrandma
Is this walk on concrete or paved ? My elderly Mum (80) needs to be able to walk on it.

The path is a compacted dirt path with some steep areas and multiple steps on parts due to slips. Probably not suitable to do the entire circuit. She may be best starting on the sea side …

My wife and I enjoy walking. We will be visiting Tauranga via cruise in November for two days. We are currently exploring ideas on how to spend our time ashore. The Mount Maunganui Base Track seems a good walk. How would we access thus walk from the ship please?

Oh wow only just seen your question. If you haven't already been. I can tell you that you can't miss it. You dock at pilot bay and at the other end of the bay (about 1km) you will find the start. At the end of the walk are numerous cafe's to enjoy a reward
We will be visiting Tauranga by cruise ship and are interested in walking this track. How close is the track from the cruise ship terminal? Is it walkable? If not, what is the best way to get there? Thanks in advance for your help!

Easy stroll from where you berth and will only take you 15mins max. Wear comfortable walking shoes and do take your camera. Base track is exactly what it is - ie all on one level apart from two or three uphill inclines that are definitely easy to walk. Partake and spoil yourself with great food and good coffee when you have finished your walk of about 45mins at one of the great Cafes on the Marine Parade waterfront. When you come out of the walk you just head for the boardwalk which will take you there. Always lots of locals on the walk itself. Enjoy - you won't be sorry.
