Whanganui Walking Group
(River City Walkers)


The Whanganui Walking Group (formally River City Walking/Tramping Group) is a community group based in River City of Whanganui, New Zealand. We run a range of walks & tramping trips around the Whanganui and further afield. From short walks to a full day's strenuous tramp. We will have something to cater to most people's walking abilities

Our Walks and tramping trips are open to everyone

​​​​​​​We have NO ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE
