Te Araroa Map Series and Toolkit
Te Araroa is a journey of a lifetime.
From Te Rerenga Wairua / Cape Reinga to Motupohue / Bluff, 3,000 kilometres of trail threads through the wild heart of Aotearoa — through forests, volcanoes, rivers, beaches, and mountain passes. But ask anyone who's walked it and they'll tell you the same thing: it's not just the land that changes along the way. You do too.
Thinking of doing Te Araroa — or know someone who might?
Whether it's on your radar for next season, a longer-term goal taking shape in the back of your mind, done end-to-end in one big adventure or section by section over several seasons — these maps are a must-have from the very start. They're the kind of thing you find yourself coming back to again and again: to dream, to plan, to share.
This is the first time the full trail has been mapped and designed as one connected journey — six detailed trail maps together with a seventh full-trail planner map, created right here in Aotearoa by the team at Wildlab.
What's in the set
Six beautifully designed trail maps cover the length of Te Araroa from north to south, bringing the whole route to life at a scale that rewards proper looking. Towns, huts, road crossings, terrain, key landmarks — everything you need to picture the trail and plan your own way through it.
The seventh map — the full Trail Planner — is something else again. Pin it to the wall. It's the perfect way for friends and family to follow along and keep track of where you are as your journey unfolds. And if you're the one at home waiting for updates, it gives you something real to look at while you track the progress of someone you love.
The set comes packaged together with a magnetic closure, built to last and easy to store or gift.
What's more
Every purchase supports the work of the Te Araroa Trust and their team — the people who maintain, develop, and care for the trail that makes all of this possible. Buying these maps is a small way of giving something back to a trail that gives so much.
A beautiful, practical gift for anyone who's ever said — "one day I'll walk Te Araroa."
