Tracks and walks
There are a number of different tracks up and around Mt Te Aroha and the Waiorongomai valley. Choose 1-2 hour walks, or combine several listed here for a full and challenging day's walk.
This track is relatively flat but requires several river crossings as it follows an old tramline through the spectacular Waitawheta Gorge.
This is a multi-day tramp using rugged, unmarked routes. Trampers will need to camp in addition to staying in huts.
