There are a wide variety of pristine and beautiful walking tracks to choose from in the immediate area. Some of the favourites include: the Rakaia Gorge walkway, which meanders its way along the edge of the Rakaia Gorge for 5 kilometres and passes through areas of geological and historic interest. This walk has stunning views and wonderful native bush. Washpen Falls is a unique and private alpine walking track through a canyon full of ancient and modern history. The canyon, formed by an ancient volcano with its blind ravines was used by the Maori to trap and kill the giant flightless New Zealand bird, the Moa.
