Great Walks in Tramping in New Zealand
New Zealand has a number of 'Great Walks', which are very well maintained, cover some of the most beautiful scenery, and in the peak season, can be quite busy, requiring bookings with DOC well in advance. More information is available at .
The great walks are:
The Milford Track, (about 4 days) which runs from Lake Te Anau through the McKinnon pass in the Southern Alps, leading out to Milford Sound. This is often considered one of the most spectacular walks in the world.
The Routeburn Track, (about 3 days) which starts at the northern end of Lake Wakatipu near Queenstown in Glenorchy, coming out at The Divide on the road to Milford.
The Kepler Track.
The Heaphy Track, on the northern tip of the South Island. This runs through some rain forest on the west coast, through beech forest, to tussock in the higher altitudes.
The Rakiura Track, on Stewart Island
The Abel Tasman Coast Track
Whanganui River Journey
Tongariro Northern Circuit, which passes through the central North Island's volcanic plateau. The Tongariro Crossing is a shorter version of this walk.
