Best Hikes in New Zealand: Whatipu
Hands down one of the BEST hikes in New Zealand!
For our first public event, we headed to Whatipu in New Zealand’s north island, and hiked a part of the EPIC Hillary trail. We combined the Kura Track, Omanawanui Track and the Puriri Ridge Track to create a 14.4km loop.
Highlights: Plenty of mud, a couple of shallow stream crossings, cliffside bay walks, native forest track and stunning views over New Zealand’s Waitakere Ranges and Manukau Harbor.
Gear: Shot on GoPro Hero 5 Black and GoPro Hero 3. Inov8 Roclite 305 and Inov8 Roclite 295 trail running shoes.
