Te Atuaoparapara, Ruahine FP, Saturday 28 November 2020. Map BK36 Banner Photo: Te Atuaoparapara with Waipawa Saddle on the left There were just eight on this tramp, and seven of us doing the loop.

About us

We are a group of like-minded people who love the great outdoors. We tramp mostly in the Hawke’s Bay province, in remote areas such as the Kaweka and Ruahine Ranges; but we also travel longer distances to new places, for longer walks.

The Napier Tramping Club was established in 1974 and has about 70 members. We belong to the Federated Mountain Clubs of NZ Inc (FMC) and run Saturday, full-weekend and Wednesday tramps, every fortnight.

Interested in joining us?

Enjoy the great outdoors, keep fit and get to know others with similar interests.
