This part of the cycleway is at Auckland Harbour. In front of you is Lower Albert Street, which takes you to the city centre. You'll find plenty of interesting things to see as you take this cycle route that runs along the waterfront.

The place where the Greenpeace ship "Rainbow Warrior" sank is marked with a colored plaque.
On July 10, 1985, the French secret services sank the flagship of the association for the defense of the environment, ready to set sail for the atoll of Mururoa. Its purpose was to hinder and protest against the French atomic tests. From this episode, which was later called the Rainbow Warrior affair, France did not come out of it any better.

Very beautiful buildings of former maritime companies can also be admired.

While not up to the standards of the likes of the Western route, this has improved a lot since it's beginnings. It's now a quick and picturesque route and from Orakei to the City just gets quicker and nicer (not riding over broken seal and tree roots now) and the hard core roadies stick to the street so it's seldom busy with bikes except on those summery days
