Best Long Distance Hiking in New Zealand

Te Araroa (The Long Pathway) passes through all of New Zealand, in one of the world's most famous long distance trails. It takes four to six months to complete an entire thru-hike (called a thru-tramp locally). As with many trails of this length, there is significant diversity in terms of terrain, weather, difficulty, and other factors. Therefore, extra care must be taken to plan accordingly for different sections.
