The eleven Great Walks of New Zealand are a collection of New Zealand's most popular and scenic multi-day walks.
All of the eleven Great Walks provide unparalleled access to some of the country’s most incredible natural landscapes, wildlife and cultural heritage. They traverse national parks and other culturally significant protected areas which are home to some of New Zealand’s most endangered tāonga (treasures).
Ensure you research which Great Walk is most suitable for your fitness level. It is essential that you know which skills and equipment are required, expected track and weather conditions, and how to limit your impact outdoors.
Track conditions often change. Be prepared by checking with the Department of Conservation before you go.
