There are four separate tracks plus the main Kerikeri Road.  The Te Araroa track passes through Kerikeri by entering the Rainbow Falls and exits down Inlet Road.  By combining the Wiaroa river track with Southside track, it becomes a circular route of about 8 kms and there are many feeder tracks.

The main starting points are either at the town centre or at the Stone Store Basin where there are several car parks.

The four walks are:

1. Rainbow Falls track alongside the Kerikeri River with two waterfalls. 3.75kms

2. The Wairoa track alongside the Wairoa stream with two waterfalls. 2.25kms

3. Charlie's Rock waterfall off Landing Road. 2.3km from the Stone Store.

4. The Southside track runs through the Booths Wharapuke Reserve historic track which is a lovely wooded trail and continues upstream along the Kerikeri river with many side entrances and finishes either at Clark Street or at the Golf Club bridge. 2.5kms

Distances are one way.
