Great Walks

DANNY : DE HEK is dedicated to providing informative and unbiased online Accommodation, Transportation and Travel Tourism information. Established in 1995, my extensive network provides comprehensive travel guides for popular destinations and top resources for activities and ‘all things New Zealand’.

New Zealand’s most popular tramping/trekking tracks and a river journey are collectively known as the Great Walks. This guide has been compiled to introduce you to these crown jewels of our tramping track network. The ten New Zealand Great Walks were selected because of their popularity with both visitors and local trampers, and for their outstanding scenery.

Great Walks: Whanganui Journey, Tongariro Northern Circuit, Routeburn Track, Routeburn Track, Rakiura Track, Milford Track, Lake Waikaremoana, Kepler Track, Heaphy Track, Abel Tasman Coast Track and Paparoa National Park.
