Great Walks Bookings Open: New Zealand's Top Hikes
Description
New Zealands Great Walks bookings open this week, with the Department of Conservation (DOC) prepared for high demand. The Paparoa and Milford Tracks kick off the booking season on May 12th and 13th, respectively, for stays from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. DOC has improved the online booking system following previous crashes, introducing a virtual queue to manage the rush. Popular tracks like Abel Tasman, Routeburn, and Kepler attract hikers worldwide for their stunning views and huts. Bookings open for these and other DOC huts, lodges, and campsites around the same dates. Early booking is advised, as spots fill up quickly.
