The Tūātapere Hump Ridge Track
Manage episode 353776782 series 3197435
The Tūātapere Hump Ridge Track, soon to become New Zealand’s newest Great Walk, gives great views of the setting sun past rock outcrops.
A three-day loop track along the south coast of New Zealand, the Hump Ridge Track (for short) covers fifty-five kilometres of beaches, forests and subalpine terrain.
Near the town of Tūātapere, west of Invercargill, the track is managed by Tūātapere Humpridge Track, a charitable trust set up via a partnership formed between the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) and the local community. The trust offers a range of tour packages such as guided tours and helicopter rides, and it is well worth consulting its website even if you are just a more ordinary sort of tramper.
