Welcome to the ECHO Walking Festival!
April 10 to April 22, 2012 - Enjoy Connecting Hills & Oceans
Last year the festival boasted walks with a difference, both short and longer walks featuring unique experiences such as a children's story time in the bush, a breakfast walk with entertainment and a night time adventure through abandoned mines. There was plenty of choice with walks spread throughout the seven major areas of Coromandel, Whitianga, Paeroa, Thames, Katikati, Te Aroha and Waihi.
A perspective on the festival: Read the view of Anee Harris, Town Promoter involved with Positive Paeroa.
