Wild Walks Aotearoa is an informative, inspiring and visually stunning guide to tramping in New Zealand, for walkers of all levels and experiences. Featuring 59 walks across New Zealand’s North and South islands, this practical guide is for anyone keen to explore Aotearoa’s wilderness on foot. Containing key info about essential gear; safety on the tracks; how to read topographical maps and trail markers; hut and track etiquette; advice for solo and female trampers; and details and logistics for each walk, this book will be your new tramping companion.

Packed with well-trodden and lesser-known walks – from quickies while on a roadie, to hikes for tykes and multi-day journeys – you’ll find options for all ages, fitness and experience levels. Lavishly illustrated with photographs of New Zealand’s picturesque landscapes, Wild Walks Aotearoa is a must-own, whether for inspiration on your coffee table or planning your next adventure.
