The Rees-Dart Valley offers a rugged and scenic experience. Access to the valley via the Rees Valley Road provides incredible alpine views, river crossings, and challenging terrain, especially after rainfall. The route starts on a gravel road before heading into the Dart River.
While the track leads to the popular Rees-Dart hiking circuit, 4WD drivers can explore part of the valley, encountering riverbeds, steep sections, and unspoiled wilderness.
The journey requires a well-equipped vehicle, and drivers should be prepared for changing conditions and remote areas. It’s an ideal destination for those seeking adventure and breathtaking landscapes in the heart of New Zealand’s Southern Alps.
