Te Araroa News

We are on the look out for three new Trustees to join the Te Araroa Trust.

Taumarunui will continue to benefit from New Zealanders and international visitors walking the 3,000km Te Araroa trail following agreement of a revised route that takes in Pureora Forest’s Timber Trail, scenic King Country backroads, and Taumarunui’s main street. 

The number of Kiwis walking Te Araroa is on the rise, with approximately one in five walkers hailing from cities, towns and rural communities across New Zealand. 

Business is booming for cafés, dairies, campsites and other enterprises along the length of New Zealand’s national Te Araroa Trail.
More than 550 people have completed the 3,000km trail over the past year, stopping to re-supply in urban centres and rural communities as they walk from Cape Reinga to Bluff.

2016-17 has seen upwards of 550 people walking Te Araroa, New Zealand's Trail.
