Embark on an epic adventure along New Zealand's iconic Heaphy Trail. A journey from mountains to sea through some of Aotearoa's most diverse terrain.

Your Heaphy adventure begins with a steady climb through rich native forest and majestic mountain terrain. After reaching Perry Saddle, you’ll descend onto Gouland Downs, home of the rare and magnificent takahē. Next, you’ll continue your descent into lush rainforest, enjoying pretty views of tannin stained rivers. Finally, your journey concludes on the wild West Coast, complete with crashing waves, nikau palms, and the call of a Karamea coffee.

This self guided adventure provides the perfect blend of social interaction  and solo wonder. Whether you prefer hiking or biking, the Heaphy promises an inspiring few days and memories that will last a lifetime.
