Tararua Experience

From NZD $220.00
  • Duration: 8 Hours
  • Location: Martinborough, Wellington

Get a taste of Wellington Region’s largest forest park. Departing Wellington by train, you’ll be whisked to the rural hinterland of Wairarapa, to the base of the towering Tararua Range. We will then follow a trail up a river valley, to a comfortable backcountry hut where we enjoy lunch.

An optional loop walk for the afternoon (to be discussed by each group) adds a steep climb before following a separate ridge track back down. You will feel a long way from the city! Return to Wellington by train in time for an evening of comfort.

Total walking distance = 15 km (approx). Starts at Wellington i-SITE at 8:00am. Returns to Wellington Train Station by 5:00pm.

Requires moderate fitness and comfortable walking shoes. Expect some sections of muddy or poorly formed track. Bring suitable clothing (avoid denim), sun hat, camera.
