Officers said the four were caught up in the bad weather and had since made it to safety.
The trampers had plenty of warm clothes, equipment and a personal locator beacon, police said.
Meanwhile, a larger group of trampers have also made it out of the Rimutaka Forest Park, after rising rivers meant they couldn't drive out yesterday.
