Great Walks
Introduction
New Zealand's Great Walks are premier tracks that pass through diverse and spectacular scenery.The tracks are well formed and easy to follow. While most people prefer to explore on their own, guided trips offer a bit more comfort. Great Walks are accessible from major towns that are well serviced by local operators and accommodation and transport providers.
