Great Walk #1 - Hiking Lake Waikaremoana | New Zealand

[@4evaavfc]

I walked up to Panekire hut in 2009. It was a hard walk. I didn't have time to finish the whole track. Good on you. My favourite is the Heaphy.

This video is super helpful! I really wanted to know what the huts look like, how steep Panekire is, what the trail conditions are like, etc. Thank you so much!

Hi Andrea, we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and found it informative. All the best and happy hiking!

Me again,also the hut you stayed in was pure luxury our small class team stayed in a hand hewn tin shed that was freezing cold and it filled with smoke when we tried to cook dinner, cold beans then.Have a blast in New Zealand and do come again.

There is definitely a very wide variety of huts in NZ! We love the character of the older ones, but also the luxury of the newer ones :) Thanks for your comment!

You guys get the opportunity to meet up with some of the locals? They'll offer more Kai and information.
