4WD track in the Manawatu-Whanganui region
Makairo Track is a hard ManawatuWhanganui forest route with deep ruts, mud and hidden boulders, best suited to well-prepared 4WDs with a winch.
Tight forest track that'll test you and your vehicle. Makairo Track is a rutty, muddy drive under the trees, and it's not one for shiny paintwork. Expect scratches.
There's not much room to pass, so keep an eye out for anyone coming the other way and be ready to back up to a wider spot. Watch for boulders poking up through the track, as they're easy to miss in the ruts. A spotter and a winch are worth bringing along, just in case.
It tends to be drier and a bit easier over summer, but it's a proper offroad challenge whenever you tackle it.
