About Rakiura Track
The Rakiura track is32km (20mi)long, but the complete route to and from the village of Oban is39km (24mi)including sections on the road at either end. Entry to the track is at sea level, and the highest point is approximately200m (660ft). The track may be walked in either direction and forms a circular route from Oban, where there are ferries and flights from nearInvercargill. The track is normally walked in three days, but if you can keep up a good pace, can be done in 2 days or 1 long day in summer. The track is also very suitable for day walks. Awater taxiis available from Oban to Port William. This allows either the first day to be done in reverse as a day walk, or the route for days 2 & 3 to be done as a longer day walk. The day 1 route is probably the most interesting to do as a day,
