This long-distance was officially opened in 2011. It runs for about 3000km from Cape Reing to Bluff, crossing both islands in length. I have only done the South Island for its mountains and wilder side.

Summer in New Zealand is December to February. I have chosen January and February to hike. Spring and Fall can offer great hiking conditions as well. Just be aware of lingering snow up passes and snowmelt flooding river if you hike in the spring.
There are plenty of towns on the trail or close by for resupplying. I only sent one food box. Please visit resupply plan for further information.
Te Araroa website has all the extra information needed for some good planning and they update their GPS file. That being said, the TA is a well-marked trail. I barely used my GPS and maps. They have as well a very useful free app.
