Rakiura Track
Route: Circuit starting and finishing at Oban Township on Rakiura (Stewart) Island, which is accessible by plane from Invercargill or by ferry from Bluff
Duration: 32.1km, 3 days
Rakiura Track, New Zealand’s southernmost Great Walk, is just one of many reasons to visit Stewart Island. Some 85 per cent of the country’s third largest island is protected and the land is home to seals and many native birds. The circuit follows the open coast, on board walks, over forested ridges and across beaches.
