Easyhike Kepler Track - Independant Multi Day Walk

Seeking awe-inspiring lake and mountain views? Don’t miss hiking the Kepler Track.

Designed to showcase the very best features of Fiordland, the Kepler was custom-built as an unforgettable hiking experience. With views from Mt Luxmore reach deep into the isolated mountains of Fiordland and limestone formations and waterfalls keep every step interesting, the Kepler is most definitely racing to join its older siblings as a ‘Must-Do’ New Zealand experience. Easy to follow, the construction of the Kepler Track makes for easier walking – think bridges, board walks and steps.

Walking independently is the only option to complete the whole Kepler Track, and our packages or transport options make it incredibly easy to do this. We’ll take care of transport, food, hut bookings and gear, so you can really make the most out of your Kepler experience.

VEHICLE RELOCATION

Easyhike offers a simple and efficient alternative to the bus - don't wait for communal track transport.
There are many reasons why travellers choose personal transport when building the Milford, Routeburn or Kepler Track into their itinerary. The independence offers so much convenience.
Time is valuable and the best way to make the most of it is to travel on your own time schedule to see and do as much as you choose.
Reasons to Book:

Either track direction
Take your time on the track
No meeting times require
Simple and secure key transfer
Private or rental vehicles

How it works:
You drive your car to the start of the track and we move it so it's waiting for you when you finish. We'll drive while you walk!

VEHICLE RELOCATION/WATER TAXI COMBO

Ride the water taxi from Te Anau across the bay to start the Kepler track at Brod Bay - at the base of Mt Luxmore. This cuts off 5.6 km or 1.5 hours from the start of the track and is a popular alternative to save a little time and/or leg work.

How it works:

• Park your car near the dock where you meet the water taxi and we will relocate it for you to the Control Gates or Rainbow Reach car park - whatever suits, so it is waiting for you when you finish the track.
• Water taxi times are 8.30am or 9.30am - you can choose your departure time on the day.

Combo includes:
Car Relocation from Te Anau to Rainbow Reach or Control Gates car park
2 Adult Water Taxi Tickets

PREMIUM PACKAGE

Our Premium package is a fantastic option instead of a fully guided walk. Walk the track independently, with all of the time-consuming logistics taken care of – allowing you to make the most of this bucket list experience. Well-maintained and easy to follow, hiking the track independently is a popular, quintessentially kiwi choice – it means you can enjoy a more personal experience that’s fully on your terms (No need to fit in with fixed directions/schedules or buses).
From having your vehicle relocated from one end of the track to the other (so it’s waiting for you when you finish your hike), to providing all of the hiking gear and food you will need, and organizing your Department of Conservation hut bookings, this high-quality package makes organizing your Great Walk hike a breeze - As long as you are booking well in advance as hut bookings sell out quickly!

What's included:
Local kiwi knowledge - Fiordland is our backyard and our passion. We’re more than happy to answer any questions about the Milford Track, Routeburn Track or Kepler Track and surrounding areas to assist you in preparing your ideal itinerary.
Our hiking equipment is the ideal quality, for walking the Great Walks. Included in our Premium Packages is the essential lightweight equipment you will need, as well as additional, helpful items to enhance your walk. Delivered packed up with your food and gear to your hotel the night before you walk.

How it works:

• Enquire as soon as possible to secure your places in the huts as these book out VERY QUICKLY (sometimes a year in advance).
• We will drop off your food and gear to your hotel in Queenstown or Te Anau the day before your hike date.
• Transport (bus or car relocation and water taxi if required) is also arranged in advance.
• Enjoy your walk - don't forget your camera!
