River City Walking Group -

The River City Walking Group is a community group based in Whanganui New Zealand. We run a range of walks & tramping trips around Whanganui and further afield 

From short walks around Whanganui to a full day's strenuous tramp out in the wilderness, 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
