Mangawhai Walking Weekend 2019 Friday 29 – Sunday 31 March  So now the dates are set we will get working on some new walks for next year! Always something new to explore in Magical Mangawhai!

Good weather, positive numbers, new walks combined with old favourites set the scene for a very successful 2018 Mangawhai Walking Weekend. With a wide range of walks straddling Thursday to Sunday and a sold out Food and Wine Festival on Saturday afternoon, the Mangawhai Walking Weekend was a success on all fronts, with 1750 tickets sold across all events! Most of all thank you to all of those who walked with us this year, making the weekend such a resounding success!                 

We have two brilliant ‘no walking’ walks this walking weekend. Try the secret of the ‘Blokes Shed’ or ‘4 Beaches and an Ice Cream’. Both take you on a exciting journey by bus, minimum walking required on these adventures…..get on the bus!!!
