Rangituhi Walk

Climb to the summit of this 468 m peak for views on clear day from the Inland Kaikoura Range (Tapuae-o-Uenuku 2,885 m) in the south to Taranaki (2,518 m) in the north-west - it's a good option for older children.

At 6.8 km, this is a comfortable half-day walk for most hikers. At an average walking pace, plan for roughly 1 hour and 31 minutes.

As a linear trail, this route has distinct start and end points. Return transport is worth arranging in advance unless you plan to walk back the same way. Look for the RW trail markings to stay on the official route.

A Regional Walking Network (RWN) route, this trail weaves through the regional landscape connecting villages, viewpoints, and countryside.
