Ten students missing in the Kaimai Ranges in Bay of Plenty have been found safe and well, police say.

Search and rescue teams scoured an area of the lower Kaimai Ranges on Tuesday evening for the Tauranga Intermediate School students, after they failed to return from an orienteering exercise.

Police say the students are walking back to their camp accompanied by search teams.

Two helicopters were involved in the search.
