Secret Hot Pools & Epic Tracks! South Island Adventure on Molesworth, Rainbow Road & Edwards Valley
I finally made it! After 9 years of trying to tick this off, I’ve finally completed a mission through some of the South Island’s most iconic tracks. This trip takes us across Molesworth Station, Rainbow Road, and into the stunning Edwards Valley.
Expect rough tracks, remote camping, and the kind of views that make you fall in love with NZ’s back country all over again. This is classic South Island overlanding — simple setup, big landscapes, and a goal that’s been a long time coming.
