Hike the Hamilton - Waikato region, known for its rolling green hills, mighty Waikato river and picturesque little towns.

Waikato is home to a number of scenic walks which travel through nature and sometimes traverse mountains. Travel a short distance from Hamilton to Te Aroha to try the Te Aroha Mountain Track. A return trip takes just under 5 hours, on a fine day you’ll be rewarded with 360-degree views of the sprawling countryside.

If you like the idea of traveling river side and experiencing crystal clear streams, the Te Waihou Walkway is not to be missed. Begin the walk just outside of Putāruru and see where almost 60% of New Zealand water comes from.
