The Ōrongorongo River is a prominent waterway in the Wellington region of New Zealand, flowing from the Rimutaka Ranges to the southern coastline near Wainuiomata. Renowned for its pristine beauty, the river winds through rugged landscapes and dense native bush, forming a vital part of the area’s ecosystem. It is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for tramping, fishing, and camping, particularly in the Ōrongorongo Valley, which is part of the Remutaka Forest Park.
