Discover the wild beauty of Kahurangi National Park

Having escaped recent ice ages, Kahurangi National Park hosts over 80% of New Zealand's alpine species, making it the nation's most diverse park. It's home to the largest populations of great spotted kiwi, giant wetas, carnivorous snails, and one of the world's largest cave spiders, offering an abundance of unique wildlife and plants. The park features 570 km of tramping tracks, including the famous 82 km Heaphy Track Great Walk. This track takes hikers through varied landscapes, including craggy ranges, valleys of native palms, alpine meadows, and a spectacular coastline.
