Travers-Sabine Circuit
4.5/5
Incredibly beautiful loop through forests, along rivers and over two mountain passes.
Saw very few people and thought it was well worth the challenge! Especially the climb up Mt Cedric!

Kepler Track

An incredible adventure along the windy ridge and down through the greenest forest I have ever seen!
My favourite Great Walk and possible in two nights.

South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Mount Cook ▷
Sealy Tarns Track
3.5/5
The most difficult walk directly up to a ridge but on a clear day, spectacular views of Mt Cook and Mt Sefton.
A very moving experience to be up with such large mountains.

Key Summit Track
4.5/5
If you do not have time for the entire Routeburn Track, going up to Key Summit from the Milford Road side is well worth it!
360 degree views of all the snowy mountains and only an hour hike up. So great!

Well worth the stop!
Just a super neat natural wonder and very easily accessible along the West Coast.
