Temporary Closure
Please note that there is a temporary closure of the Cycle Trail section from 13 September to 30 November:
Taumarere (Long Bridge) to Akeake) to reinstate the railway line.
There is an existing railway siding at Akeake which will allow locomotives to change from one end of the train to the other so that they can pull the train back to Kawakawa.
During the period September 13 to 30 November, 2021
Access will be only available from Opua to Ake Ake, further along the trail (4.1km). This is important as it will allow Opau cycle trail users the option of riding/walking to Akeake. Also access is only from Kawakawa to Taumarere.
During Summer
The Bay of Islands Vintage Railway Trust will provide a train service over the closed trail the summer months with the second stage of the railway reinstatement due to begin in February 2022.
