Journey deep into New Zealand's last frontier, a land cloaked in mist, mysticism and primordial forest. This unique Great Walk circumnavigates the lake shore for two days, before climbing to the top of Panekiri Ridge for breathtaking views of the endless mountains of Te Urewera, the lake, and the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy this hut-to-hut hiking expedition, with secluded beaches, fascinating history, opportunities to hear the native kiwi and truly breathtaking views.
