Follow winding tracks through spectacular scenery and amazing views. Explore our backyard and learn about our local history. Hike across hills, discover pools and waterfalls, get a bit of exercise and enjoy our local bush and beach.

From an hour's walk to full day tramps, there's something for everyone and every fitness level - Kaimais to the Coromandel.

Something for everyone

There's something for everyone with our ECHO Walking Festival walks. Every year we have a range of different walks and even the same walks can be fun to do again.

Our walks offer some spectacular scenery and a taste of the New Zealand outdoors. Make sure to take your phone or camera and get snapping and enter our Photo Competition.
