WILDSIDE WALKS
Come flying into our back country, walking, hunting, fishing or camping with us in the great New Zealand wilderness! Wildside Walks is owned by Stuart Orme. There are two guides: Stuart Orme and Matt Wyeth. Their two main aims are to get you in and out of the park safely with a memory (and photos) you’ll cherish and never forget. They will ensure that they work with you to provide an adventure that meets your expectations and comfort levels and adapt along the way to match your changing aspirations. Pre and post adventure accommodation is available nearby or with one of their guides to allow more time to better plan your trip to take advantage of the weather, river levels and ‘other options’ if the previous two mean that back country fishing is not safe at the time.

KAWAKAWA STATION WALK
Kawakawa Station Walk is one of Wairarapa’s oldest sheep stations, and the North Island’s southernmost farm. It was first leased by the Russell family in 1847, and included an estate of approximately 10,000 acres. With his crown grants and leasehold land, John Russel began farming his 2 acres with just 3 men, 3 horses, and 1,000 sheep, for the rental sum of 24 pounds. Captain Bob Russell’s schooner (a type of sailing vessel) was then used to transport the collected wool to Wellington.Whether you’re a tourist, backpacker, or photographer, Kawakawa Station is the place for you!
Come revel in the breathtaking coastal views across the Cook Strait all the way to the snow-capped Kaikouras. Stray off the beaten path and traipse through the beautiful native bush whilst surrounded by spectacular river valleys, and the abundant wildlife.
