Patuna Chasm Walk Sunday 17 March 2024 10:30am “One of the best hidden places in the Wairarapa! Beautiful scenery and well worth the travel” “Patuna Chasm is an Amazing Experience! Fantastic hike with incredible scenery! This is not a hike for the faint of heart but is totally worth it. The first half (of the 2 - 2.5 hour walk) is through fields and forests along the side of the chasm and has great flowers and babbling rivers. The second half is up/down the river, in knee to mid-thigh deep water, so be sure you have good hiking shoes to wear. Amazing carved rock formations, eels and scenery. Highly recommended.”
We had attempted to do this walk back in February but Cyclone Gabrielle and the various storms that followed prevented that. For more information click https://www.patunafarm.co.nz/#chasmwalks The cost is $45 per person. I will do the bulk booking, so the fee will be payable to me. I will advise you once the booking has been made. There is a maximum of 28 persons on each trip. Currently no-one else is booked on this date and time. The website states 3 hours for the walk so we will have time for a late lunch somewhere afterwards. Google Maps tells me it is a 1 hour 45 minute drive from Wellington Railway station. We need to be at the Farm ready to go at 10:15 am at the latest. You will need to have dry clothes with you in your car as you will get wet. Please RSVP by Friday 29 September so I can book the trip. The entrance fee is payable as soon as I have booked. Other logistics can be worked out closer to the date. |
