Enjoy 23 great walks, all guided and free of charge, across the Southern Coromandel and Kaimai areas.  From 5 hour tramps to special children’s walks with activities, there is a walk for every level.  Everyone can enjoy exploring our great outdoors, including a brand new coastal track and a twilight walk.  What a great way to get active during the April school holidays!

 

The ECHO Walking Festival organization has the following objectives:

 

To enable local residents to take part in walks in their local parks and

reserves.

To highlight the benefits of regular exercise.

To increase awareness and use of local parks and reserves.

To promote local tourism

 

Information Centres, Sport Waikato and the Department of Conservation are combining to bring you the 4th ECHO Walking Festival.  Simply check out the All Walks page and call the appropriate organiser if you need additional information, or cancellation info.

 

There is no need to register or book for the walks (for the Ohinemuri Winery Walk we do need registrations so we can book you in for lunch!).  Please read the requirements of each walk carefully, as we take no responsibility for walkers arriving unprepared.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.

 

Enjoy Connecting Hills and Oceans!

Prizes!

 

All ECHO walkers will be asked to fill out a safety/info registration form at the start of each walk. 

 

After the Festival, all these names go into a draw to win one of  4 main prizes!  See our prize list at the bottom of the All Walks page.
