Hiking & Walking
Family-friendly Tours
Multi-Day Short Tours
Sleep by the Beach and Wake Ready for the Track
The overnight camps are part of the experience rather than simply somewhere to sleep. Spend your evenings at Onetahuti and Anchorage surrounded by native bush and close to the coast, with dinner and dessert prepared while you relax after the day's walk. With tents, mattresses, cooking equipment and meals organised for you, there is no need to carry the equipment normally associated with a multi-day camping trip.
Mornings begin with breakfast at camp before you pack only what you need for the day's walk. Your guide transfers the rest while you continue along the Coast Track with a packed lunch and snacks. By Day 3, the final 12.4 km stretch leads from Anchorage towards Mārahau, passing coastal viewpoints, Adele Island views and wetlands before finishing with hot showers and a well-earned rest back at base.
