Wainuiomata Old Forest Walk

Wainuiomata Community Hall
Event Description
Explore ancient forests on a guided walk in Wainuiomata Regional Park - delivered by Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC)
Step into a world few get to see. This exclusive guided walk takes you deep into a 1,000-year-old forest in Wainuiomata Regional Park - an area normally closed to the public. Wander beneath towering native rātā and rimu trees and discover a sanctuary for North Island brown kiwi and other native birds.
Led by one of our experienced park rangers, you’ll hear stories about the park’s natural heritage, conservation efforts, and the history that makes this place so special.
Registrations are extremely limited. Each walk is capped at just 20 participants, with a maximum of two registrations per person. Due to the overwhelming popularity of these limited capacity events, GWRC have decided that the fairest way to allocate bookings is via a ballot system. A ballot will open for registrations via the link below at 10am on Tuesday 15 December.
If you’ve attended before, please consider letting someone else experience this unique opportunity.
