Kaikōura Coast Track: 26 km in Canterbury
The Kaikōura Coast Track is a named multi-day track in Canterbury. The governing figure used here is 26 km (Kaikōura Coast Track (private)), not a straight line between towns.
Typical time on the route is 3 days. Grade: Walking track. Season window: October to April.
Another booked private walk. Tide and farm rules apply. Kaikōura township is the bed before and after. Not the Peninsula Walkway day walk.
The itinerary on this page is the published stop sequence: Kaikōura, Hawkswood, Ngaroma, Conway. Cabins and holiday homes load live around each stop; hut and trailhead pins without a town page still search by radius.
Book DOC huts and Great Walks on the DOC system where that applies. Town beds are what this site lists. Carry the day’s food on remote legs — several of these routes have no shop between ends.
Stop by stop
Kaikōura — town. Hawkswood — southern farms. Ngaroma — farm hut night. Conway — coastal finish options.
Distances, grades and seasons above follow Kaikōura Coast Track (private). Confirm opening dates, slips and hut bookings on the operator or DOC page before you travel; alpine and West Coast tracks close or reroute after weather.
