The loop trip from Smaills Beach to Highcliff was first undertaken by the Otago Tramping Club in May 1930. This trip, like the first club trip, is a shorter Saturday afternoon trip.

Starting with a stroll along Smaills Beach, the trip will then head up the Karetai Track to enjoy the coastal views from Pudneys Cliff. Then it is upwards to Karetai Road and Highcliff Road to see the views on the harbour side of the Otago Peninsula.

The return to Tomahawk will be via Centre Road, completing a 3–4-hour loop.
