2022 Banks Peninsula Walking Festival Full Programme

Nau mai, Welcome to the 2022 Banks Peninsula Walking Festival running every Saturday and Sunday from 5th - 27th November.

This year’s programme will be as popular as ever with a wonderful variety of walks to enjoy on Banks Peninsula. We are including some of the fantastic walks that were canceled last year due to weather, as well as some exciting new offerings. This includes a family friendly walk to Packhorse Hut guided by 8-year-old Miss Emilie and her mum Victoria Ann Bruce who walked Te Araroa together, a rare opportunity to hike to Omahu Reserve from the Otahuna Valley, a chance to learn about the incredible work being done to restore Ahuriri Wetland and a four paws adventure at Panama Rock Reserve! The great variety of walks offers something for people of all ages, abilities and interests. Whether it be history and heritage, botany or geology there is something for everyone with a guarantee of beautiful views and scenery along the way.

Book early as places are limited and walks fill up quickly!

Please be aware that credit card fees apply when booking.

We have received generous support from Christchurch independent retailer Further Faster (Buchan Street) for this year’s festival. Present your booking ticket and get 10% off all gear (excluding paddle gear, electronics, gift cards and DOC hut tickets). www.furtherfaster.co.nz
