Wander along to Cape Horn Lookout, where you will be able to track the progress of ships as they make their way up the Manukau Harbour.
The track begins in Waikōwhai Park, where you can have a picnic and let the kids play on the playground. From there, you can climb the 267 steps to the lookout, or take the route around the shoreline at low tide.
Along the way you can enjoy stunning views of the harbour and the native forest with its associated birdlife.
