Our Partners

Te Araroa Trust is honoured to care for the trail, one of the most beautiful and highly regarded long-distance walks in the world. We are especially grateful to our sponsors, partners and supporters who are helping us on our journey to become a regenerative trail.

Partner support enables us to:

develop alternative routes to minimise road walking sections.
improve the information we provide to walkers and other trail stakeholders.
develop the infrastructure walkers need.

Our partners are critical to improving the trail experience, leaving it better than it was before, and ensuring the future of Te Araroa.
