Fly South / Aotearoa New Zealand
Kahurangi National Park
Kahurangi National Park is a vast north-western wilderness of limestone arches, deep gorges and high tablelands. The Heaphy Track crosses from beech forest to nikau palms, while the Oparara Basin hides huge limestone caves and arches. It is one of the best places to trade a busy itinerary for a proper backcountry wander.
About Kahurangi National Park
The Heaphy Track, one of the country's Great Walks, crosses Kahurangi from end to end, passing through everything from beech forest to nikau palm groves near the coast. The Oparara Basin, tucked in the park's northern reaches, holds limestone arches and caves on a scale that's hard to appreciate from the ground. In Fly South, Kahurangi rewards unhurried exploration - follow one valley until it opens into the next, rather than aiming for a single landmark, and watch the pale limestone give way to dark, ancient forest.
