Kahurangi National Park

Kahurangi National Park is a wild and rugged place, a land of soaring peaks and deep valleys, of rushing rivers and silent forests. It’s one of the most beautiful and least known national parks in New Zealand, and one of the most diverse, with landscapes that range from the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps to the windswept beaches of the Tasman Sea. Kahurangi is a place of hidden valleys and trackless forests, of tumbling waterfalls and rushing rivers, of mountain ranges and hidden lakes. It’s a place of great natural beauty, and a place of great natural danger, where the weather can change in an instant and the mountains can be deadly. But it’s also a place of great peace, a place where you can lose yourself in the wilderness and find yourself in the silence of the forest.
