Trail Notes
Your Guide
The trail notes are your guide for walking Te Araroa. They provide detailed information to help you plan your walk, section by section.
The trail notes describe the trail, its conditions and helpful information about access, transport, accommodation and where you can buy food and other supplies. Sections vary in length, but generally start and finish at points where you can get on or off trail with relative ease.
The trail notes are regularly updated as required. Throughout the walking season this is almost daily as we gain new information from walkers and supporters along the trail. If you see something wrong, or feel something could be described better, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@teararoa.org.nz
Because the notes are updated regularly we strongly recommend using Te Araroa – The Trail App to view the most up to date notes. You can also view the notes online or download and print them below.
Currently the notes are only available in a Southbound perspective.
Trail Maps
Te Araroa trail maps can be used on a mobile device like a smart phone or iPad, or downloaded and printed. Trail maps are available by region or by North or South. We update our maps each year in August so it’s best to wait until then if you plan to print these out.
