Got To Get Out FREE Hike: Wellington, Southern Walkway
Event Information
About this event
Kiwis have #gottogetout!
Got To Get Out arranges many FREE outdoor events, to get the communities of NZ active / outdoors / healthy and exploring nature.
For this adventure, The Got To Get Out Wellington Adventurers invite you to hike in the Southern Walkway from Oriental Bay to Island Bay!
This intermediate grade walk is arranged by our volunteer community leaders with the sole purpose of getting the community outdoors, active, and connected.
The Southern Walkway is a 10.6km walk along the Town Belt between Oriental Bay and Island Bay.
The total walk can be completed in 4–5 hours depending on fitness.
The greatest attraction of this walkway is the variety of scenery, from views of the harbour and central city at Oriental Bay, to the shade and tranquility of the Town Belt forest, around parts of the Berhampore Golf Course, and the rugged and exposed Southern coastline between Houghton Bay and Island Bay.
