  • Short Walk
  • Walking Track

De walks zijn voor iederen goed te lopen. Ook zonder enige wandelervaring. Wandelschoenen aan en gaan. De tramping tracks zijn langere uitdagendere routes. De great walks zijn goed onderhouden en geschikt voor iedereen met enige wandelervaning. Op tramping tracks is meer ervaring vereist en de nodige zelfredzaamheid als het goed om overnachten, eten en overleven. Routes zijn groteendeels ongemarkerde tochten voor de ervaring wandelaar op zoek naar avontuur.

Te Araroa Trail

De Te Araroa Trail, die heel Nieuw-Zeeland doorkruist, over de Noord- als de Zuid-eilanden, strekt zich uit van Cape Regina, waar de Stille Oceaan de Tasmanzee ontmoet, en slingert zuidwaarts naar Bluff, eindigend op de zuidpunt van het Zuidereiland. De 3000 kilometer lange route omvat een adembenemende mengelmoes van de meest spectaculaire natuurlijke wonderen van het land, waaronder de Northland Forests, de door zee overstroomde valleien van de Marlborough Sounds, de Zuidelijke Alpen en uiteraard locaties die beroemd zijn gemaakt door de Lord of the Rings filmtrilogie, inclusief Togariro National Park. Hoewel je op stukken van de route niet aan zelfvoorzienend kamperen ontkomt, zijn er verschillende accommodatiemogelijkheden verspreid langs de route die comfort bieden aan wandelaars, waaronder vakantieparken, pensions en hutten in het achterland die worden beheerd door het Department of Conservation van Nieuw-Zeeland.

Onderstaande route is een vereenvoudigde versie van de GPX tracks die op de site van de route te vinden zijn.

De Milford Track is een route van ruim 50 kilometer naar de prachtige Milford Sound – een van de vele fjorden in Fiordland National Park. De route wordt beschouwd als een gemiddeld zware wandeling, hoewel het tot 4 dagen duurt om te voltooien. Gedurende het hele avontuur kom je langs prachtige uitzichten op meren, watervallen, torenhoge bergtoppen, bossen die er magisch uitzien en aanvoelen, en uiteindelijk een ongelooflijk uitzicht op de fjord.
