What travelers say:

The process of knowing TE ARAROA is wonderful, and maybe one day I will go to TE ARAROA too. The origin of the matter is the first printed map, when we were hugging and saying goodbye, and two young Dutch people who took a ride with us and were about to start hiking for three days and three nights. When they were picked up, they just came out of Wanaka not long, a man and a woman, two big and heavy mountaineering bags, they said that they were going to the intersection of BIRCHWOOD ROAD near OMARAMA, of course, they had to walk about ten kilometers to the starting point of the hike. Thinking of those days in Tibet hiking, heart soft, so-called send Buddha to the west, then decided to simply carry them to the starting point. From Highway 8 to BIRCHWOOD ROAD, it all became a gravel road, but the world is magnificent, the clouds are light and the wind is clear, the scenery is beautiful all the way, the place where the starting point is on the left hand of the road, there is a clear sign next to the railing, and behind the railing is a huge and beautiful pasture, right here, The Dutch friend said goodbye to us and quickly disappeared into sight. Before leaving, the Dutch girl took out a stack of printed detailed hiking route drawings, saying that it was downloaded from the official website of TE ARAROA, which should be, I heard people mention for the first time, TE ARAROA. TE ARAROA, The Long Pathway, is a full version of the 3,000 km from Cape Reinga, New Zealand, to the southernmost Bluff. You know, hiking routes are everywhere in New Zealand, but most routes only take a few days and do not need to spend the night in the wild, and the complete Te Araroa Trail crosses the South Island and the North Island, it takes 120 days, and it takes great courage to think about it!
