Spokesperson Luke Williams says that 2015 will be the biggest year yet with 14 guided trails, including four new walks and the return of 10 of the most popular walks.
This the seventh year the walks have been run and as usual, the focus is on getting people to special places they might not normally visit and providing local hospitality along the way.
“We are very privileged to again be able to visit Gibbs Farm Sculpture Park, which features one of the world’s premiere large sculpture collections,” Luke says. “It will sell out fast for good reason.”
New this year is the Pakiri to Goat Island coastal walk, which will take in long, white beaches, coastal cliffs and rock pools, finishing at the Sawmill Cafe.
A walk over a large parcel of land between Omaha and Tawharanui is also new this year. Normally strictly off-limits to visitors, the walk will take in the sprawling hills and valleys of Omaha Heights Farm, providing spectacular views over the eastern beaches.
The event will be held from November 5 to 8. Walks sellout fast, so organisers advise people to book as soon as possible.
