The itinerary on this page is the published stop sequence: Auckland, Gulf Harbour, Tiritiri wharf, Lighthouse. 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.
