This seems like a good idea for Kapiti to emulate.


Walking

The 2020 Manawatu Walking Festival will take you throughout the city, along our coastlines, across mountain ranges, through our urban arts scene and through Te Apiti – Manawatu Gorge.

Pick and choose from the selection of guided walks that are hosted throughout the three-day festival from 6th–8th March 20120.

Hosting this year’s festival is a range of experts from experienced tramping guides, historians, conservationists, story-tellers and photographers. There are walks for all ages and fitness levels, with plenty of options to choose from including some popular favorites from previous years, as well as some new exciting walks and activities added for 2020.

Bookings are essential as limited spaces available.
