North Island ▷ Manawatu - Wanganui ▷ Whanganui River ▷
Whanganui Journey
Difficult to reach, quite expensive to hire a canoe.
All the speedboats with their loud engines kind of ruin the fun. Beautiful landscape though.

North Island ▷ Tairāwhiti Gisborne ▷ Lake Waikaremoana ▷
Lake Waikaremoana Great Walk
Great views for Mt Panekire, but in my opinion, one of the weakest Great Walks.
If you are short of time, go for another Great Walk first!

South Island ▷ Fiordland ▷ Te Anau ▷
Kepler Track
Compared to the other Great Walks was more enduring but we were not complaining, because the views compensate!

North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Tongariro Northern Circuit
Incredible, beautiful landscape!
Everyone keeps discussing, if it is enough to do the Alpine Crossing or if one should go for the Great Walk. My opinion, if you have the time, go for the Great Walk!
