Kicking off in 2003, the ECHO Walking Festival is organised by town promoters in the participating towns and districts. Follow winding tracks through spectacular scenery and amazing views. Explore our backyard and learn about our local history.
Hike across hills, discover pools and waterfalls, get a bit of exercise and enjoy our local bush and beach. From an hour's walk to full day tramps, there's something for everyone and every fitness level - Coromandel to Te Puke.
There's something for everyone with our ECHO Walking Festival walks. Every year we have a range of different walks and even the same walks can be fun to do again.
Our walks offer some spectacular scenery and a taste of the New Zealand outdoors.
