Lonely Planet Hiking and Tramping in New Zealand

Pound for pound, square kilometre for square kilometre, there may be no country on earth as naturally diverse as New Zealand. Glaciers leak through rainforests, volcanoes form a beating heart and ice-tipped mountains hack at the sky. Spot seals and laze on golden sands along the Abel Tasman Coast Track; explore The Lord of the Rings scenery on Tongariro Northern Circuit; and tramp through ancient rainforest and along gnarly ridges on the Lake Waikaremoana Great Walk.
