Phenomenal track. Lovely mix of alpine and beech forest biomes. Ridge walks, bush walks, a lakeside hut, a cave you fan explore. It has it all

Banks Tracks, Banks Penisula; a hike that is a feast for the senses. The smell of the blossoms and foliage, the incredible sounds of the birds especially the dawn chorus and the stunning landscape as we walked along the coast line and through native bush makes me think they got the mixture just right. We watched dolphins and seals play, skimmed stones under multiple waterfalls and were incredibly lucky to get up close with 2 wee fledgling blue penguins. The accommodation was very unique. Our first night was spent in a wee stargazer hut overlooking the bay which we chose over the main hut. Our 2nd night was at the quirky Stoney Bay in our wee cottage which had a shower built in around the trunk of an old tree with outdoor baths and the best wee shop to buy some supplies from. Despite extensive damage from recent storms, the team appeared to have worked tirelessly to restore the track to its former glory with a couple of detours in place. This 31km hike can be done over 2 or 3 days (we did 2 and stopped for lunch at the 2nd accommodation of Flea Bay- day 1-19km and day 2 was 12km). We were continuously amazed by what this track offered and is so far the most favourite hike we have ever done. It comes highly recommended by both Sawyer and I.

An absolutely magical tramp. Scenery is amazing and so tranquil at the end. Water taxi option is also a good one.
