Murder and Mayhem

Karori Cemetery is the final resting place for people whose lives ended tragically – from drowning, from murder, and from accidents of all kinds.

This tour includes the story of three militia men killed in a guncotton explosion; an attempted murder followed by suicide; a drowning or two plus other exciting stories.

Health & Safety

The tour includes off trail walking requiring moderate mobility. Please dress appropriately for the conditions. While we do our best to guide you on a safe walking route, the ground can be wet and slippery in places.
