Kepler Track
Awesome scenery.
Great weather. Was annoying to check in the DOC Information Centre to get tickets, was not enough to print it out. Hut warden explained that procedure was necessary to get information about track weather. Yet I had been told nothing about track/weather, nor that gas stoves are on site. I carried all the stuff.

Abel Tasman Coast Track
The track was way too crowded with day walkers coming in by boat.
Hut wardens were great.

South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Golden Bay ▷
Heaphy Track
Some hut wardens spent lots of time with people, give information and take ownership for their huts.
Other hut wardens only show up to collect tickets and the hut was a mess.

Not very informative.
Sent me onward to DOC, which was closed for summer holidays for several days when we got there. Only answered questions that were asked, did not volunteer information.
