Yes, it is possible to walk the Routeburn Track independently. Independent walkers have the option to stay in Department of Conservation (DOC) huts or tents along the track. However, it's important to note that during the Great Walks season (late October to late April), the track must be pre-booked, and bookings are essential for tent sites. Independent walkers will also need to arrange transportation, such as a bus or transfer service, as the track is not a circuit.
