Shakespear Explorer

Shakespear Explorer

Explore and discover the taonga (treasures) of Shakespear Open Sanctuary, Hibiscus Coast, Auckland. Created by SOSSI volunteers (Shakespear Open Sanctuary Society) and supported by Auckland Council, this free app features 2 self-guided trails to download and use any time you visit. The trails use GPS technology so simply turn on notifications to receive alerts when you reach each stop.

The Kaitiaki Trail takes you through the stunning Waterfall Gully bushwalk, out onto farmland with breathtaking views. It brings to life the nature conservation stories of the Sanctuary and includes an interactive 360-degree panorama from the lookout.

The Tamariki Trail is aimed at children ages 5+. Featuring your guide Kare the Kiwi, it also includes hidden quiz signs to be discovered in a fun adventure around some of the Sanctuary’s main highlights.

Shakespear is the only Auckland Regional Park with its own app, so we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for themed trails to be added in the future.
