Start building →Te Araroa is one of the world’s great long-distance trails — 3,000 kilometres from Cape Reinga in the far north to Bluff at the southern tip of New Zealand. Planning it is no small task. How many days will a section actually take? Where do you sleep each night? What if you only have two weeks? This planner was built to answer exactly those questions, by someone who has walked the trail themselves.
