- Description
From the rippling waters of the Waimata River to the expansive Pacific Ocean, Walk Gisborne has it all. Its two or three-day adventure encompasses all that is best about the Gisborne region – spectacular farm and coastal scenery, welcoming hospitality, comfortable country accommodation and delicious meals made with the finest local produce and complemented by award-winning wines.
The private farm and coastal walk follows well-used tracks beside the Waimata River and Whainukota Stream, over open country, through pockets of puriri-rich native bush, stands of kanuka and valleys of toitoi to the famed white sands of Makorori Beach. It passes historic kumara pits and ancient mud volcanoes and affords simply stunning views of this edge-of-the-earth paradise.
Each day’s walk takes between three and six and a half hours depending on speed and fitness levels. Moderate fitness is recommended.
