The trips are weather dependent, so should we be faced with weather extremes, we’ll find safe alternatives.<\/p>\n

It starts from the end of Poads Road, behind Levin and takes us through the gorge and into some truly beautiful native bush. The tramp involves some crossing back and forth across\u00a0 the river, so you will need good shoes, and be able to walk comfortably over river stones. You need to be able to swim. Although it is challenging \u2013 it is really safe, very beautiful, (and fun). Also, we’ve shortened the trip a bit from previous years to make sure everyone gets back on time.<\/p>\n It is a great introduction to tramping or a satisfying tramp for experienced people. If there’s rainy weather, there will be an alternative non-river trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Each group of about ten trampers is led by an experienced trip leader.<\/span><\/p>\n Note: If the weather is too awful or the river too full, the alternative will be to explore the Kapakapanui Circuit Track.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Te Tirohanga.
