This is by far the most popular walk in the New Zealand. Every international visitor seems to know about it and want to do it. I'd first done it 10 years ago and was keen to see it during good weather as the last time I'd done it the weather was shocking and we saw pretty much nothing. I also wanted to see if it lived up to it's moniker as the best day walk in New Zealand, as this is the walk that many international visitors to New Zealand do in their limited time that they have here, due to the relative ease of access, the interesting terrain, and that it only takes a day!
