Search and rescue teams are looking for a man who went missing after going on a hike at a popular walking track in the Waikato today.
Police said the man, in his 30s, had failed to meet up with a friend after the pair split up while walking the Wairere Falls Track, near Matamata.
The alarm was raised about 8.30pm.
A police spokeswoman said tonight the pair had walked the track together.
At one point, the friend went ahead before later returning to try to find his missing mate.
