Kaimais - Mini Weekend

Leaving from Como St 8:00 am 5 March with pickup in Greenlane available

Te Rereatukahia Hut is a 12 bunk hut which requires 1 x Standard blue $5 DOC hut ticket but tents need to be carried as this is a non- bookable hut and a popular area for locals

Saturday morning we will drive down to Hot Springs Rd near Katikati and begin walking up the Tuahu Track.  At the junction with the North - South track we will head North enjoying great views to the East and West of the ranges to the hut at 650m elevation.

Sunday 6 March we will return back along the same track to the bus.  Hopefully we can talk the driver into stopping at KatiKati for a coffee or icecream on the way home.

Grading E/M (Carry overnight pack/gear/tent, Good track but uphill entire way)

This walk would be suitable for those wanting to experience an overnight trip to a hut.  The walk will take about 3 - 3.5 hours but is uphill the entire way so good level of fitness is required!
