1 of 4 classics links Otaki and Tauherenikau catchments. Originally from Otaki Forks to Wairarapa Plains and now the Kaitoke Basin. It was popularised from the 1920s by the Tararua Tramping and other clubs in the Hutt Valley and Wairarapa.

Covering 36.0 km, this is a true long-distance trail best approached as a multi-day journey through varied terrain.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. Look for the TarSC trail markings to stay on the official route.

The National Walking Network (NWN) designation reflects the importance of this trail at a national level. Expect consistent waymarking and well-maintained path surfaces.
