We are working alongside Tohu Whenua, a programme that connects New Zealanders and international visitors with Aotearoa New Zealand’s cultural heritage by promoting places of historical significance that offer high quality visitor experiences.
It’s a perfect fit for Ngā Haerenga Great Rides of New Zealand, as a number of our trails pass through or near these sites, which combine culture and heritage with beautiful natural settings. 
One example is Northland’s Pou Herenga Tai – Twin Coast Cycle Trail Great Ride. It connects with the Tohu Whenua site Māngungu Mission and weaves past Kororipo Heritage Park, with easy detours to Waitangi Treaty Grounds and Pompallier Mission. 
By collaborating we can help to enhance visitor experiences, boost regional storytelling and support sustainable community growth across Aotearoa. 
We can’t wait to explore and pursue opportunities with Toha Whenua that will benefit both our domestic and international visitors alike.
