These boots are made for walking.

So sang Nancy Sinatra.  I imagine that one of the last places that she thought of walking all over was New Zealand.  There are 10 so called Great Walks of New Zealand developed and maintained by the New Zealand Department of Conversation.  The newest and 10th Great Walk, called the Paparoa Track was officially opened along its full length on 1st March 2020. It is unique in that it is a dual walking and mountain biking route.

The Paparoa Track is the first Great Walk to be added in 25 years.  The Great Walks take an average of 4 days to complete with campsites or huts available along the way.  You can compare the Great Walks here.  The Great Walks provide a superb opportunity to take in the wide variety of landscapes in both the North and South Islands.  According to the New Zealand Department of Conservation 80% of all international visitors to the country took part in some kind of walking related activity and over the past five years there has been a 20% increase in the number of international visitors undertaking the Great Walks.
