Hawke’s Bay Search & Rescue were called to the Ruahine Ranges on Sunday following a report of a lost tramper.
A woman became separated from her tramping partner, and had already spent a night in the bush before the alarm was raised.
Senior Constable Andy Walker said the woman had good quality clothing and a small amount of food.
A rescue helicopter was called in to assist with the search, and located the woman.
She, along with a SAR team, were winched out.
Mr Walker thanked Wakarara locals, especially Craig and Ann Preston, who looked after the lost parties partner, and for providing hot coffee, buns and feijoa cake for the search teams and the missing tramper.
