Hiking in the South Island
Hiking (aka bushwalking, trekking or tramping, as the Kiwis call it) is the perfect
vehicle for a close encounter with the South Island's natural beauty. There are
thousands of kilometres of wilderness tracks here (some well marked, including
six of New Zealand's celebrated 'Great Walks', some barely a line on a map)
plus an excellent network of huts and campgrounds.
