3 day walk almost entirely through the bush. Don’t expect dramatic views, but do make sure to pause, listen and observe while you walk. The bush is a wealth of biodiversity and you will notice more if you take it slow. The section between Port Williams and North Arm is extremely muddy the entire way even in dry weather. Really nice DOC rangers at Port Williams where we also saw 4 kiwi at night. Amazing! The island is a dark sky sanctuary so the stars were spectacular.

The track is nothing special, but save your energy and go kiwi spotting at midnight

Super introduction to hiking on several days! Makes 3 days in a tent. We saw 2 kiwis around 11am at night in North Arm. A magnificent experience! Full of muddy obstacles, it adds a touch to the ride! After the 3 days we went on Ulva Island by water taxi, great getaway to enjoy the wildlife of the birds.

I did the Rakiura Track, North West Circuit and Southern Circuit. Compared to the two circuits, the Rakiura track is nothing special, but it is much easier / the way is super easy to walk in contrast to the other two walks that are very demanding!

Very nice introduction to multi-day hikes. We walked from Oban to the North Arm Hut in 5 and a half hours. If you did that, the Kepler track is not that exhausting anymore ..

Nice enough walk. Very muddy in places particularly if it's been raining. Depending on your level of fitness it can be done in a day. It took me 7 hours. I never saw the elusive kiwi but have met people who did. I saw a variety of birds, heard even more and a deer.

Awesome first great walk! Didn't manage to see any kiwi's but saw dear, jelly fish and an abundance of bird life! Definitely recommend ?

Was my first Great Walk and I found him super adapted! :) Nice hat, one with a very nice ranger and a couple of us have seen at the Port William hat a Kiwi at night :) if you do not to strenuous hike is the Mögt your way to go!

Exactly like the Abel Tasman

Awesome track! Highly recommended if you like wildlife and native bush. The track itself is quite easy and a good introduction to multi day hikes I think.
