Can't get enough of Manawatū's natural adventure playground? 🌳🥾

Take your exploration into the night with an overnight tramp! Tune out from the hustle and bustle of the city and tune into nature’s soundtrack – colourful birdsong, the rustling of the trees in the breeze, and the bubbling waters of a nearby stream. No cellphone reception – no worries!

These overnight walks are calling your name

Disconnect from the daily grind and head into nature for an overnight or multi-day expedition in the great outdoors on an easy, intermediate, or advanced trail.
