Description: The official guide to New Zealand's greatest walk. This is the guidebook of Te Araroa Trail- The Long Pathway, a continuous trail running from Cape Reinga to Bluff, 35 years in the making, which officially opened in late 2011. The book maps the 3000-kilometre trail in 40-kilometre sections, with maps by leading map maker Roger Smith of Geographx.

This book is an accessible guide both for those who only want to walk parts of the trail and d
