About This Tour
We invite active travellers to step beyond the city and discover one of New Zealand’s most spectacular coastal walks - the Escarpment Track, part of the iconic Te Araroa Trail. This guided experience allows you to set your own pace along this dramatic ridgeline on the Kāpiti Coast, with sweeping views of Kāpiti Island, before unwinding in a charming coastal village. Pause for an ice cream (included), dip your toes in the ocean, and then begin your return to Wellington, relaxing in the comfort of the coastal train. See Wellington from a different perspective – beyond the bustle of the city. Discover a trail of sweeping views and local charm. The perfect escape for those seeking adventure, discovery, and seamless organisation.
