Enjoy 20 great walks, all guided across the Southern Coromandel and Kaimai areas. From 7 hour tramps to special family walks with activities, there is a walk for every level. Everyone can enjoy exploring our great outdoors, including Karangahake Tunnel Loop Walk & Treasure Hunt and the Pit Rim Night Walk at Waihi's Martha Mine. What a great way to get active during the April school holidays!
