• Where can I find good, basic information about New Zealand?
    Try NewZealand.com's Key Facts and FourCorners.co.nz's New Zealand Facts.
  • I would like to walk . . . Do I need to book?
    Most New Zealand tracks cannot be booked. You should book private and guided walks, and many of the heavily visited "Great Walks." Check the Great Walks Information page for details (link below).
  • I would like to make a booking for the Milford / Routeburn / . . . Track. Can you do this? No. New Zealand Tramper is not a booking agent for any tracks, public or private. You need to contact the operators for private walks or guided walks, or the appropriate DOC office for the Milford, Routeburn, and other Great Walks (see the Great Walks Information page).
  • I am a long-distance runner, and I wish to run the Milford Track / . . . in one day. Can I do this?
    Charges for Great Walks are for accommodation only. There is no charge to walk (or run) the track. Be sure to check conditions with DOC first, and sign intentions forms. 
     
  • I am looking for a 4 day walk with huts, and food provided at the huts.
    There are a few tracks like this. Try searching with the guided and/or private keywords checked.
     
  • Are there any tracks that run the length of New Zealand?
    No. The idea has circulated for many years. Currently, it is a project of the Te Araroa Trust.
