There are some excellent short walks in and around Te Anau plus some decent all day walks and hikes too. You’ll find a list of all our walks & hiking tracks below. Walks are listed randomly and include all the info you’ll need. There’s track highlights, history, track quality, elevation, length, time needed and a personal run down on what we think about the walk. The lake front in Te Anau is the best place to start a lot of the walks.

The great Kepler Track starts in Te Anau

You can either walk to the start of the Kepler Great Walk track or drive there. If you are taking car, there is a large car park just by the control gates. Or you could try Tracknet who run services to the start of the track. Once you’re at the start of the walk, you can go in two directions, south or north. This is because the Kepler is a circular walk starting and ending at the control gates.
