🥾 Te Araroa South Island Map
The South Island map is in preparation for the 2026/27 season.
I’m updating the map with practical trail information to help you get a better overview of the South Island route, including distances, towns, resupply points, huts and other useful stops. There will be a small fee for the SI version. It does take me a lot of time to update these maps and there is no involvement from AI!

About these maps
I create maps for hikers who want to understand a long-distance trail as a whole, as well as see the practical details that help with planning.
Te Araroa is a constantly evolving trail, and routes, access, accommodation and services can change. Always check the official Te Araroa Trust website and current trail information before setting out.
Please note: this map is a planning aid, not a replacement for official Te Araroa trail notes, navigation tools or current trail alerts.
Happy planning, and happy trails!
