Heaphy Track


The Heaphy Track is the longest of the 9 Great Walks at 78.4 km. It takes 4 - 6 days to walk. Until the end of a trial period in September 2013 it's also possible to mountain bike the track between 1 May and 30 September. It takes 2 - 3 days to ride.

The track is well formed and well marked, and all rivers and major streams are bridged. It is suitable for people of moderate fitness and limited experience.

Located in the Kahurangi National Park at the north-west corner of the South Island, the nearest towns that cater for trampers and mountain bikers are Nelson, Takaka, Westport and Karamea.


Time:  4 - 6 days (walking); 2 - 3 days (mountain biking)

Golden Bay Flights History



Fly Directly to and from Brown Hut, Heaphy Track Start

Remote Adventures Scenic Flights is a well established business run by Jim Larsen and offering a range of scenic flights over the beautiful Golden Bay area, and now also further afield to Paraparaumu, Wanganui and Taranaki.

Jim’s Heaphy Track Transport service connects with more centres and will fly with just one passenger if requested. He has flights between Takaka, Karamea, Nelson, Motueka and can arrange shuttle connections if required.

Jim has been flying trampers to the Heaphy Track connection centres for the last 10 years including a connection to the start of the track at the Collingwood end. He is the only fixed aircraft operator that can do this. He flys a Cessna 185 aircraft which has high wings and windows all round which gives passengers excellent viewing.

He has built up an excellent reputation for consistency and safe flying with the communities of Golden Bay & Karamea, and with both information sites in these centres and the Department of Conservation. He also has a high ranking for safety with the Civil Aviation Authority. He resides in the only house adjacent to the Takaka airport including passenger reception.

Invitation to Chinese and Halal Workshops

Hello

The email below from Tourism New Zealand regarding Chinese and Halal Workshops is forwarded for your information.  If you are interested please register by clicking on the link in the email.

Regards

Tracy

 

 

From: Paul Yeo [mailto:Paul.Yeo@tnz.govt.nz]
Sent: Tuesday, 18 September 2012 5:22 p.m.
Subject: Chinese and Halal Workshops

 

Kia ora folks

 

As you know Tourism New Zealand, together with industry experts, is hosting a series of full-day workshops for businesses with an interest in Chinese and halal tourism.

 

Today we have extended the registration deadline for these events to enable RTOs and trade associations to better promote these to their members.

 

New deadlines are included below. Our web page at http://www.tourismnewzealand.com/upcoming-events/upcoming-events/chinese-and-halal-workshop/ will be updated to reflect these new dates tomorrow.

 

While the events will be held in Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown, Auckland and Rotorua it would be appreciated if those RTOs bordering these cities could also encourage their members to attend.

 

Note that the Wellington date on 3 October follows the TIA Summit on 2 October so delegates to the latter could be encouraged to ‘stay over’.
