Walking Wonders

Kia ora and welcome to Walking Wonders, a social walking community in Christchurch. Our group is run by volunteers who love bringing people together, exploring beautiful places, and creating a friendly space where everyone feels at home. We wander riverside paths, parks, coastal tracks, and the Port Hills, with occasional outings beyond the city.
