One of New Zealand Walk’s clients recently returned from the guided walk of the Hump Ridge Track and she had these wonderful photos to share with us – thank you Jennifer! We’re so happy you enjoyed your experience. Here’s what she had to say:

“What an amazing experience to walk the Hump Ridge Track starting from Tuatapere. Everyday was something different to explore and enjoy. Lots of rain on day one meant lots of mud on days two and three, but once embraced this added to the challenge and the fun. Great views plus some dolphins sighted along the way. Big thanks to our guide and the teams at the very comfortable Okaka and Port Craig lodges who took such wonderful care of us. Highly recommend!”

Bookings for the Hump Ridge Track for the 2024-2025 season are now open, running from November 2024 to April 2025. See our link below for more details about this walk.
