Through walkers and section walkers If you’re walking Te Araroa next season, you’ll need to register with us. As a registered walker, you’ll receive lots of benefits and have access to the most up to date information and support.
Registrations are not yet open for the 2025 - 2026 season. Please sign up to our newsletter and we will be sure to let you know when they open (likely mid August).
Watch this space. There will be some exciting announcements about the benefits of registration for you, nature and the trail!
Registration costs $60 and $10 from every registration goes directly to supporting nature restoration along the trail.
As part of your registration, you’ll receive a Te Araroa walker pack with locally made merchandise exclusive to registered walkers.
Make sure to also factor in your donation to Te Araroa Trust, which you will be asked to make as part of your registration. As a small charity we rely heavily on donations from walkers to protect, enhance and sustain Te Araroa, for generations to come. Every dollar donated is spent directly on ongoing maintenance and development of the trail.
