Perfect independent tracks in April

Hey there. I can't suggest any tramps that you will be able to see the sea but I know of a few that have great mountain scenery. There is the Rees/Dart which is a 67km walk. The biggest climb is over the Rees saddle which is only something like 1,400 metres above sea level. Can be done in 4 days but I suggest to do it in 5 so you can take a day walk to see the Dart Glacier. When I was on my way to the glacies I stopped with my group (Ashburton M.O.R. ventures) and watch an avelanch. Then there is the Cass/Lagoon saddle which is around 33km and has two very easy saddle crossings. Others suggest to take 3 days but there is only 1 hut (hamilton hut) which is fairly modern. My group and I easily did this walk in 2 days. And then there is the St. James walkway up by Hanmer Springs. That is about 67km. We did this in 3 days and found it very hard but thats because that was my very first tramp.(even harder because I just move here from Nebraska USA which is very flat and does not have any walks at all. Hope you have fun here in NZ!
