Whanganui to Santoft Forest: An insightful ride on the Whanganui River sets the flow of Pio’s whirling ride to the Santoft Forest. A colourful smorgasbord of food and people draw Pio into the landscape as he visits Ratana Pā and samples the cook’s wares, and sword-dances his way into the Turakina Highland Games to try some haggis.
Te Araroa: Tales from the Trails is a fresh look at Aotearoa by foot, allowing Pio Terei to connect with the people and local histories in a very real way. All the while, the unspoilt landscapes hark back to a time when Māori and Pākehā explorers first encountered this land.
