Te Araroa

Te Araroa (The Long Pathway) is a continuous 3,000km trail which spans the entire length of New Zealand, from Cape Reinga in the north to Bluff in the south.

The route links beaches, lakes, farmland, forests and alpine passes. Heading south, it starts with Ninety Mile Beach before working through Northland’s forests and coast. Next comes Auckland, then the farmland and riverside paths of the Waikato. The Central North Island follows, with Mt Pirongia and the volcanic country around Tongariro, before a 100km paddle down the Whanganui River by kayak. The North Island ends with the Tararua Range, a short but exposed stretch above Wellington, where you take the ferry to the South Island.
