A great bush walk to the lookout. Interesting features along the way.

Distance 8.7 km
A great bush walk to the lookout and back. Its not difficult but still takes about 2 hours to complete at a cruising pace.
Start at Piha car park and follow centennial track all the way to the lookout.
Its a steady incline the whole way. The lookout is worth it! You'll see everything unless raining but still its a nice walk.
Turn around and walk back down the same track. There are a couple of tracks you can turn off to make it longer.
