Top Trekking Hiking in Southland

take a dip at the heaphy river! it's refreshing after a long hike. don’t forget your swimsuit; i made that mistake, and it looked too inviting to resist!

Make sure you pack plenty of snackz. I ran out of energy bars halfway through and really regretted it. Those extra bites really make a difference especially on the tougher sections

I suggest starting your hike early, like around 7 AM, to beat the crowds and soak in the sunrise views. You'll thank me later when it's quieter!

if you're looking to save some cash, consider bringing your own lunch instead of buying it at the cafés; the views are way better with a packed picnic.
