The four day walk is simply one of New Zealand's great walking holidays. It gives you the time to hike the side tracks, watch the birds and wildlife, swim, sunbathe, read, play games, beachcomb ... to explore more or to relax in beautiful surroundings.
The leisurely pace of this walk makes it an option open to all age groups. It is also excellent as a 'first tramp' for the novice walker; or as a first or last tramp for the visitor flying to or from Christchurch airport.
It is easy to arrange with free car parking, free bus to start, informative guide booklet, hot showers, flush toilets, and good food and drink and pack cartage options. It also includes the free penguin tour (spring/early summer) and kayaking option, and with our limit of 12 walkers per day, it is never crowded on the track or at your accommodation.
Absolutely the most wonderful experience at every level! Everything about this walk was truly fabulous- from the our first contact with the bus driver from Christchurch through to the hospitality of the farmers themselves...the scenery, the pristine countryside....to accommodation and facilities. It way exceeded our expectations...
