Wairarapa Adventure Tour including Wine Tasting from Wellington - Wellington

Enjoy a range of adventure activities and sightseeing amidst the scenic Wairarapa countryside. You can choose from 2-hour horse trekking, guided chasm walk or high ropes course in the morning. After a homestead lunch you will visit glow-worm caves, a vineyard for wine tasting and explore the Martinborough township before returning back to Wellington city.

Your day starts with a drive over the historic Rimutaka Ranges, one of New Zealand's wildest hill roads, and into the Wairarapa countryside. First stop is Patuna Farm Adventures where you choose a morning activity: 2-hour Horse Trekking, High Ropes, or a guided walk through the Patuna Chasm.

The Horse Trekkers explore different areas of this high country farm on horses to suit your skill level. The High Ropes include the big swing, trapeze and the beam and is a real challenge. The Patuna Chasm is a spectacular limestone wonderland. You can experience the wonder of its fossils, ferns, stalactites, waterfalls, eels, wildlife, wild pigeons and native birds. After your morning activity you will return to the family house for a relaxing homestead lunch.

After lunch we head down the road to the Ruakokoputuna Glow-worm caves (gumboots and torch supplied). A short walk up the creek bed and into the caves has us discovering the worlds only true glow-worms. Then it's time to relax as we follow one of Wairarapa's most beautiful river valleys to Martinborough, where we visit a local vineyard before stopping in at the Martinborough Wine Centre for a tasting or afternoon tea.
