THE HEAPHY TRACK
The Heaphy Track is world renowned for its beauty and diversity. Over its eighty kilometres the track passes through a range of dramatic landscapes in Kahurangi National Park. Ascending from the junction of the Brown and Aorere Rivers, traversing expansive sub-alpine tussock downs through lush Rata and Nikau palm forests, then dropping down to the roaring seas of the West Coast, it is truly one of New Zealand’s Great Walks.
