A 50-year-old father left Wainuiomata around midday yesterday with his two daughters, aged 11 and 14.
They were planning a hiking trip to Days Bay.
But when the trio still hadn't returned six hours later, police were called.
Eight teams of three have been out overnight searching for the family in East Harbour Regional Park.
They're having a debrief before heading back out to continue the search this morning.
