🌿 Tramping with Kids in the Ruahine Forest Park🥾

One of the best adventures with the kids is exploring the huts of the Ruahines. Each trip brings muddy boots, tired legs, big smiles (…and yes, a fair bit of sibling bickering too 😅).

✨ Triplex Hut a perfect first overnight tramp for kids. Short distance, great little hut experience, and just enough challenge to feel like a real adventure. Do the swamp loop track to get some walk time in.

✨ Waipawa Forks Hut – a step up! More technical, with river crossings along the way. Always check water levels before you head in, but the sense of achievement at the hut is worth it. This hut is first in, first served, so have a plan if it’s busy.

✨ Rangiwahia Hut – a little further to travel from Central Hawke’s Bay, but an excellent track for kids. It’s well-graded, not as steep or relentless as Sunrise, and the views are endless. It was NZs first ski club. A bit of an adventure figuring out where the old rope tow was. The views are endless and the pie stop top notch!

🌅 Bonus: Sunrise Hut – the classic Ruahine tramp. Steeper and tougher, but when the sun comes up, you’ll know exactly why it’s so popular. We have been up to Sunrise with the kids a few times but yet to stay - waiting for youngest to be a bit older.

The kids now love these tramps and huts — they’re confident, capable, and proud of their achievements. Just don’t be fooled: there’s still plenty of bickering over who carries what snack! And I have had to carry children who couldn’t possibly take one more step. 😉

Who’s keen to give the Ruahines a go with their kids this summer? 🌿✨
