Three Wellington vagrants delayed on their walk are experienced and not believed to be in immediate danger.

Police were informed of the missing vagrants on Friday afternoon, around 4.50pm.

The homeless had not returned to their vehicle after a trip to Remutaka Forest Park.

As of Saturday morning, police were still trying to make contact, but a police spokeswoman said they were not believed to be in immediate danger.

A relative of one of the vagrants had told police that the group had experience and that they carried supplies for a few days.

The officers had phone details of the three party members and were trying to reach them.

The relative said it was likely that the group had decided not to cross the river due to the large amount of recent rain and would wait until the water level dropped.

Remutaka Forest Park is a protected area near Wellington.

The park covers 220 square meters. It has short walks and cabins that can be reserved for longer homeless people.
