Te Arapiki o Tāwhaki Walk

Home to mighty ancient forests, protected by the work of dedicated conservationists, the Tararua District is teeming with life. 

Do what the locals do in Tararua.

Climb to the summit of Te Arapiki o Tawhaki for impressive views and experience New Zealand as it used to be on the way with wild kākā, kōkako, stichbird, takahē, kākāriki and ancient tuatara. 

Greytown is so picture-perfect with its mantle of frothy spring blossoms, it’s like walking onto a well-dressed movie set.
