Celebrating 30 years of Great Walks

The 2022/23 season marks the 30th anniversary of New Zealand’s Great Walks. Formed in 1992, the Great Walks were established as a means of managing and conserving the most popular tracks in New Zealand. While some tracks continue to be immensely popular with visitors, there are many ways to enjoy them if you have a bit of flexibility around where and when you go. So get out there and hike or bike, walk or run, or even paddle around our most treasured parts of the country – the choice is yours.
