Sign In or Sign Up to

The Wairarapa's three forest parks (Rimutaka, Tararua and Aorangi) provide a unique insight into New Zealand's native flora and fauna. The 22,000 ha Rimutaka Forest Park encompasses much of the Rimutaka Range and is home to native birdlife, including bellbirds, tui, kaka and ruru, with the North Island brown kiwi being released into the park by The Rimutaka Forest Park Trust in May 2006.

The Department of Conservation and the Rimutaka Forest Park Trust care for Rimutaka Forest Park jointly. It has plenty of walking tracks, swimming holes, camping grounds, bush cabins to rent, barbecues, hunting areas, recreation areas, and much more.

Easily accessible from Wellington, the area is popular with trampers and hunters.
