Walking & Trekking

The Rapaki Walk is a loop walk across farmland and has spectacular views of the Wairarapa valley and Martinborough vineyards.

The Featherston Reserves Walkway is a series of four short walking tracks all within an easy walk of Featherston.

The Waiohine River has carved out a spectacular gorge, bisecting the landscape and setting an attractive backdrop. The suspension bridge spanning the gorge forms a spectacular gateway to the Tararua Forest Park.

Mount Holdsworth is the main entrance to the eastern side of the Tararua Forest Park. With some of the highest peaks in the Tararua Range, Holdsworth offers short walks and longer tramps through forest and into the alpine environment.

Kiriwhakapapa Loop, about 15 minutes from Masterton, is a well-graded walk through forest with some planted Redwoods.
