Walking and Hiking

Makarora River Ranch provides a convenient base for independent day walks in Mount Aspiring National Park. Discover longer hikes along river valley tracks, through beech forest and waterfalls or challenging mountain hikes to Mount Brewster and Mount Shrimpton. There are several options for one-day walks that follow the tributaries of the Makarora River. Visit the stunning Blue Pools, Cameron Flat or Bridal Path or experience raw wilderness with a heli hiking trip into Mount Aspiring National Park.
