In general, Te Araroa is for walking.

We have only negotiated walking access to private land, through farms and over conservation areas.

Dogs are strictly prohibited. The only parts of Te Araroa suitable for dogs are urban walks, road walking and some beaches.

Te Araroa is not suitable for cycling. Most tracks are only constructed to walking standards. There are only a few sections where te Araroa intersects with cycleways.
