The search continues this morning for a tramper missing in Auckland's Hunua Ranges.

The 36-year-old man hasn't been heard from since Saturday afternoon when he text friends to say he was delayed.

Two teams have spent the night in the bush and RNZAF Iroquois helicopters have used night-vision equipment to continue looking for the man.

The lost man is Asian or Polynesian and is wearing just a lightweight jacket and shorts.

Search and Rescue teams from Waikato will join the search today.
