The site is worth visiting all year round but especially during migration periods when additional waders are likely to be seen.
The main attraction is the Manukau harbour foreshore. At low tide, extensive mudflats are exposed which can be viewed from the path along the harbour front. At high tide, waders roost on an artificial island which can be viewed from the Bird Hide (signposted and marked on the map). Wrybill should be present throughout the year.
For an hour's visit, one can walk from the entrance to the hide (10-15 minutes each way). The route passes fields and ponds which may hold ducks and oystercatchers as well as swamphens. Continuing beyond the hide, one can walk to or around the Mangere Lagoon to the east. For a longer visit of two hours or more, one can continue to Mangere Lagoon, or follow the Kiwi Esplanade Walkway around the western edge of the park which offers further views of the harbour.
The main track leading south and east from the farm is gravelled and suitable for cycling. It is possible to cycle to the Bird Hide and then follow the route to Mangere Lagoon, the Ourangi Reserve and the Otuataua Stonefield Reserve (a Maori historic site).
