The Heaphy Track, located in Kahurangi National Park at the north-west corner of the South Island, is the longest of the Department of Conservation (DOC) Great Walks. For 78.4 kilometres the track crosses the Park's range of landscapes, starting from the junction of the Brown and Aorere Rivers, over expansive tussock downs to the lush forests, nikau palms and roaring seas of the West Coast.
The track is wide and benched in most sections and popular with all ages and abilities - from walkers wanting an adventure experience to first time hikers.
The Heaphy Track is one of New Zealand's Great Walks and is without doubt the most diverse. It combines bush clad walking, sub alpine traverses and a breathtaking coastal section, with fantastic views over alpine downs, and out to the wild West Coast of the South Island.
Each night you come to rest at basic but comfortable accommodation in Department of Conservation huts. These huts have running water, toilets and cosy fires for heating. There are even toilets at the huts and shelters along the way.
To save you time, we have complete guided walking track packages available for you; so book your Heaphy Track experience with us today!
