Easyhike Independent Great Walk Hiking Packages and Car Relocation - No Hassle Adventuring in NZ

02/09/2026

Auckland to Queenstown or Te Anau is a short flight. But most people arrive stressed, overpacked, and spend their first evening in an unfamiliar town trying to find a supermarket. 😬

Here's how to do it properly. ✈️

What to bring on the plane: ✅ Your hiking boots — in your carry on. Never check these. If your bag is delayed, you have no walk. ✅ Personal items — clothes, toiletries, medications ✅ That's it.

What to leave at home: Everything else. Sleeping bag, rain jacket, pack, tramping poles, cooking equipment, food — all of it.

Why? Because we deliver it all to your Te Anau or Queenstown accommodation before your walk begins. Quality gear, sized for you, packed for your specific track. No checked baggage fees. No lugging a 15kg pack through Auckland Airport. No arriving exhausted before you've even started. 📦

Here's what EasyHike sorts for Auckland-based walkers:

🎒 Gear hire — sleeping bag, rain jacket, pack, tramping poles, cooking equipment. Delivered to your accommodation. Picked up after your walk.

📦 Food package — Crafty Weka Bars, Off-Piste protein snacks, Wapiti Bakery treats, just-add-water dinners. Delivered the night before you start.

🚗 Car relocation — hire a car in Queenstown or Te Anau, walk the track, your car is waiting at the finish.

🗓️ Hut bookings — if you haven't got these yet, get in touch immediately. Our waitlist fills up.

The result: You land in Queenstown with hand luggage. Everything is waiting. You show up and walk. 🙌

November is 8 weeks away. If you're walking this season, get in touch this week.

"What's waiting in your car at the end of the Routeburn Track?"

Three days. 33km. Harris Saddle. Key Summit. The Divide.

You've just crossed the Southern Alps on one of the greatest walks in the world. And your car is waiting. 🚗

Here's what our clients put in theirs:

👟 Soft slippers or jandals — off the hiking boots the second you reach the car
🧦 Dry socks — possibly the greatest feeling known to humans after 3 days on the track
👗 Comfy clothes — leggings, a soft hoodie, anything that isn't sweaty hiking gear
🍫 Good chocolate — not trail mix. Actual chocolate. You earned it.
🥂 A bottle of something cold and celebratory
☕ A thermos of real coffee
🍓 Fresh fruit after days of trail food
💆 Wet wipes, moisturiser, dry shampoo — Fiordland wind is brutal
📱 A fully charged phone with messages from people back home asking if you made it

And for families: kids' favourite snacks, a charged tablet, a small surprise waiting on the back seat. 👨‍👩‍👧

This is what car relocation actually gives you. Not just logistics,the reward at the end of the most incredible thing you've ever done.

We relocate over 800 cars every season on the Milford, Routeburn and Kepler Tracks. Your car moves while you walk. You walk out and it's there with everything you packed for this moment. 🙌

Here's exactly what you need. 🎒

The non-negotiables:

✅ Waterproof rain jacket — non-negotiable in Fiordland (Gore-Tex or equivalent)

✅ Sleeping bag — rated to at least -5 degrees

✅ Well-fitted pack — 50-65 litres

Should you hire or bring your own?

✈️ Flying in from overseas? Hire wins every time. Checked baggage fees, bulk, and the risk of your gear arriving somewhere else entirely makes bringing your own more trouble than it's worth.

🇳🇿 NZ domestic traveller? If your gear is old, heavy, or incomplete — hiring the right kit for your specific track is almost always better than making do.

📦 Our gear hire packages are designed specifically for the Milford, Routeburn and Kepler. Right weight, right spec, delivered to your accommodation before you go.

Add gear hire to your Premium Package or EasyHike Package — or book standalone. 👇

GREAT WALKS Winter Special ends soon ...Car relocations at this price won't last much longer! 🚗

🏔️ Milford Track — $310 per car plus water taxi

⛰️ Routeburn/Divide — $325 per car plus $40 fuel

🔵 Kepler Track — $125 per car plus water taxi from $30pp

We relocate over 800 vehicles every season. Your car is in safe, experienced hands with local drivers who know these roads. All insurance arrangements handled directly with your rental agency. 🗝️

🏔️ Is the Kepler Track worth it?

Our honest answer? Absolutely.

In fact, we think it's one of New Zealand's most underrated Great Walks.

Why?

✨ It's a loop track, starting and finishing in Te Anau—no complicated one-way logistics.

🥾 Day two takes you above the bushline onto the stunning Luxmore ridgeline, with breathtaking views across Fiordland.

🌿 It offers the same incredible Fiordland scenery as the Milford Track, but with fewer people and a quieter experience.

It's no surprise the Kepler is a favourite for so many hikers.

Want to make your trip even easier?

🏔️ Our Kepler Premium Package includes:

✅ DOC hut bookings
✅ Transport
✅ Food
✅ Gear hire
✅ Local support from a Kiwi family business

Already have your huts? Our EasyHike Package starts from $775.

📩 Get in touch today and let us help you plan an unforgettable Kepler Track adventure.

What food do you need for the Routeburn Track? Here's exactly what we pack.

The Routeburn crosses the Southern Alps. Day two takes you above the bushline and across Harris Saddle — exposed, demanding, and breathtaking. ⛰️

Your food needs to work as hard as you do on a day like that.

Here's exactly what our Routeburn Track food package includes and why:

3 Days / 2 Nights — $225 per person 🍲

🍳 2 x Breakfast — fast, hot, and filling. You're on the track by 8am. Nobody wants to be a chef at 7am in a shared hut kitchen.

🥾 2 x Lunch on the track — something you can eat while moving or at a viewpoint. Lightweight, no cooking required, actually tasty.

🍜 2 x Dinner and dessert — just-add-water. Hot, filling, and genuinely good after 6+ hours on your feet.

⚡ Crafty Weka Bars — nuts, seeds, low GI carbs and honey. Sustained energy for the Harris Saddle climb. No sugar crash at the top.

🌱 Off-Piste Provisions — 45% protein, 100% plants. Your muscles recover as you walk. Ready for day three.

🥧 Wapiti Bakery treat — because Te Anau's finest bakery deserves a spot in your pack.

Vegetarian and gluten free options available. Just let us know when you book.

Delivered to your Queenstown or Te Anau accommodation the night before you start. No supermarket run in an unfamiliar town. No last minute stress. Open the bag and go. 📦

Add it to your Routeburn Premium Package ($1,495) or EasyHike Package ($975) — or book standalone. 👇
