Spend the day exploring the vast valley that is the Nevis. Climb onto New Zealand's highest road before dropping into the valley below and seeing some amazing New Zealand history (crazy to think people lived out there...).

Stop in at the old towns and explore the remains of what was once an active gold mining community.

The middle section of the track has a few water holes and muddy bogs that would be worth having a second vehicle for depending on the time of year and recent weather conditions.

Nevis Valley is closed to motor vehicles annually from the first Monday in June to 30 September, please respect the closures.
