Hike the Heaphy Track in the Kahurangi National Park

Hike the Heaphy Track, New Zealand

Each week, we highlight our fave tramping trails in New Zealand for day and multi day hikes across Nelson Tasman (and beyond!)

The Heaphy Track, Kahurangi National Park 

A classic South Island tramp - winter is a great time to check it out! It’s also open to cyclists during the off-peak season (1st May - 30th November).

Distance: 78.4km

Walking 4-6 days
Biking 2-3 days 

There is such an incredible diversity of ecosystems on this track, making it an absolutely stunning journey. There are 6 huts and 9 campsites which must be booked in advance.

The track meanders through mossy beech forests, alpine scrub, and finishes on the wild West Coast which will leave you speechless with its astounding tropical beauty! The track can be done West to East or East to West, just make sure you book your return transport before you go!
