Rees Dart Track, South Island - New Zealand

[@GypsyGirl317]

This is an excellent video, and I am keen to do this walk now. 😊 Thank you for sharing it. Our country is so beautiful and so diverse!

Thanks for the memories. My late hubby and I did the Rees Dart in 1996. Wonderful time.

Love your style. Still your personal favourite walk in NZ to this day? Im eying this up soon. Thanks

Did the Matukituki-Cascade-Saddle-Dart- and out to Glemnorchy in 1984 with Rachel, my Tramping Mate and Captain. How did you avoid the sandflies??? Great memories!!

[@Longtack55]

"Shelter Rock Hut" actually old boy. The grind to the saddle takes its toll. I appreciate your top Ten list - weather dependent!

[@nakedlakedip57]

Yep done it, horrible weather non stop rain, best part was the beers and whiskey in Queenstown..

[@sdoron79]

I whish I could go back to NZ, even with my chidren, just to walk the walks i walked and to walk the walks i didn't walked

5:15 into it is stunning! I'm going to have to do this hike. I thought it was a 4 day tramp though?

[@JonHiclimb]

It can be 4 days, 5 with the Cascade Saddle out and back added. We added a 6th as planned another side trip but the bridge was out so we couldn't get over to the Whitbourn. Its certainly a great tramp, one of the best in NZ I'd say, although very busy to.

How much food do we need for this 6 days Hike... Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@JonHiclimb]

Hi there, so we did 6 days, but you can do it in 4 + 1 if you wish to do the side trip to Cascade Saddle (highly recommended). So 5 days food plus a contingency meal would be sensible.

Just wondering what it’s likely to be like underfoot mid December....would you recommend gaiters?

[@JonHiclimb]

Alan Breck, hi there. No, I think you’ll be fine without gaiters. Good tracks throughout.

[@user-zo2rj2zi9g]

Thanks Jon 👍

[@하디-k6r]

this track is also belong to one of the te araroa?

[@JonHiclimb]

No, the TA goes nearby but not on this trail. The TA generally misses the best/harder bits
