I tramped this about 20 years ago, we took 5 days including a rest day at Heaphy Hut. This terrific video has brought back great memories plus a desire to bike the track too, but perhaps over 2 days. Huge thanks for this!!
@drTeddyJo hey there, I would say overall it maybe smoother than paparoa. The first climb has some bumps but there are some sections on dirt that are amazingly smooth. They would be similar in terms energy expenditure. If you managed the paparoa then the heaphy is absolutely achievable and enjoyable.
I walked this about 14 years ago, glad to see nothing has changed. I have such fond memories of this track. Thanks for your video.
I worked on the track 27years ago....Mackey hut to Lewis hut...looks like it held up ok
I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful video. Thank you
This is a great video!

Never seen bike racks on a plane. I would have thought too much drag. But so handy!
you should see aluminum boats under the wings of a beaver :)
Brilliant - Thanks
Great video! I wish I could go there someday.
Awesome. I can't wait to do this
Great video :) just wondering how this compares to the Paparoa in terms of how rough the track is? Thanks ! 😊
