Time: 4 - 6 days round trip from Freshwater, Distance: 71.5 km round trip
This tramp is not for the light-hearted. The island's Southern Circuit Track is regarded as a remote, challenging tramping experience and requires a high level of fitness and good route-finding skills. It can be accessed from the North West Circuit Track or by boat transport on Paterson Inlet. There are several huts along the way as well as a side-trip up to Mt. Rakeahua.
Tracks around the island can be really boggy so preparation is key.
