Lying in the south-west Pacific, New Zealand consists of two main islands—the North Island and the South Island. In addition, Stewart Island and many smaller islands lie offshore.
New Zealand has over 15,000 kilometres of beautiful and varied coastline. The north of the South Island has some beautiful sandy beaches, while the coastline around the rest of the South Island tends to be wilder and more rugged.
The South Island's Southern Alps have a number of glaciers, the largest being Tasman glacier, which you can view by taking a short walk from Mount Cook village.
New Zealand's most famous glaciers are the Franz Josef and Fox on the South Island's west coast. Gouged out by moving ice over thousands of years, these spectacular glaciers are easily accessible to mountaineers and hikers.
The 'West Coast' refers to the narrow strip of land between the South Island's Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea.
The West Coast is memorable for its mountain peaks, massive glaciers, bizarre limestone landscapes, mysterious lakes and raging rivers, lush rainforest and a magnificent, wild coastline.
At the northern end of the West Coast you can revel in the wild perfection of the landscape:
The Heaphy Track is one of New Zealand's great walks. The track is 82 kilometres long, crossing a range of landscapes, a small part of the Kahurangi National Park covering tussock covered downs, river flats, lush forest, and the scenic West Coast—rugged in beauty and diverse in nature.
The Heaphy Track is not difficult and suitable for families and those with little hiking experience. This track can be walked either way, but often the preferable route is to walk from the Collingwood end to Karamea. This is due to the climb onto the table-lands and then drop down to the West Coast.
The track takes an average of four days and three nights for the average tramper.
