Chronicle Books | Wild Walks Aotearoa | A Guide to Tramping in NZ

Boots on, pack sorted — there’s a whole lot of Aotearoa waiting to be explored.

Wild Walks Aotearoa by Hannah-Rose Watt is a beautiful and practical guide to getting out on foot and discovering some of New Zealand’s incredible wild places.

Featuring 59 walks across the North and South Islands, this isn't a book just for seasoned trampers. There are adventures for absolute beginners, families, road-trippers looking for a quick walk and experienced trampers searching for their next backcountry challenge.

Alongside detailed information and logistics for each walk, Hannah-Rose shares the practical knowledge that can make exploring the outdoors safer and considerably more enjoyable. Learn about essential gear, track safety, topographical maps, trail markers, hut and track etiquette, plus useful advice for solo and female trampers.

The walks themselves range from short adventures that can easily be added to a road trip and family-friendly outings through to more challenging multi-day journeys.

And when you're not wearing out your tramping boots? The stunning photography of New Zealand's landscapes makes Wild Walks Aotearoa just as lovely sitting on the coffee table while you decide where you're heading next.
