Hiking water tip 💦

While DOC huts have cold running water, please take note of any instructions/signs about boiling it (due to unknown bugs)!

The same goes for along the track. Take notice of any DOC signs and if you collect water for drinking, consider boiling it first. If you wish to collect water along the way, choose flowing streams over stagnant tarns.

It is essential to take a drink bottle to use during the day! 🌄

Attitude is everything.

Having a positive mindset before your hike is super important. Some things will be outside of your control (hello Fiordland weather!), but you can control your attitude.

A bit of rain? No problem – embrace it! Check out the roaring waterfalls that pop up, enjoy that impromptu wash, and nature at its most powerful. That alpine pass a bit harder than you expected? Imagine the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel when you reach the top, and the tasty reward you’ve been saving for the occasion!

If you can focus on the positives of any situation you’ll be so much happier for it, and chances are, there’ll be the bonus of a few laughs along the way.

Walking the Routeburn Track this season?
