Our range of 1-3 day treks include:
The Whirinaki Loop (1-day): experience a day walking among giants in the world-renowned Whirinaki Forest - British botanist David Bellamy called it 'one of the great forests of the world'. Enjoy abundant birdlife and crystal clear waterfalls. 4-5hrs walking on a well-formed trail.
Te Urewera Ridgeline (1-day): this trek follows an old Maori trail and offers magnificent views over Te Urewera National Park. Learn about local history, Maori legends and traditional food sources. 6-7hrs walking on a moderately difficult, unformed wilderness trail.
Te Urewera Tree Planting Trek (1-day): enjoy trekking in the magnificent Whirinaki Forest followed by an afternoon planting trees as part of a local Maori forest restoration project. A great way to off-set carbon miles and make a positive contribution to the local community.
Te Urewera Whirinaki Combination (2-day): this trek combines the best of the Whirinaki and Te Urewera with magnificent indigenous forests and expansive views. We overnight at our private bush camp in large, comfortable tents with hot showers, BBQ, wine & all equipment provided.
Ultimate Te Urewera (3-day): starting in the immense Whirinaki Forest and finishing beside the beautiful Lake Waikaremoana this 3-day trek takes in the two icons of Te Urewera. Overnight accommodation is at our comfortable bush camp and DOC huts.
N.B. All treks include meals, an optional natural hot pool, and return shuttle from Rotorua.
Tree Planting Add On: a half-day tree planting option, contributing to a local Maori restoration project, can be included in the two- and three- day trekking experiences for extra cost.
Private Bush Camp: enjoy sleeping under the stars, surrounded by native forest, beside a lovely stream. In our small, private bush camp all the hard work is done with all camping equipment provided - large comfortable tents, camp beds, mattresses, sleeping bags, BBQ for cooking, hot showers and eco-toilet.
