Routeburn Track Transport
Thirty-two kilometres in length, the Routeburn Track is traditionally walked over three days although many trampers will choose to do it in two. The Routeburn Track can be walked in either direction, but the layout of the track and the placement of the huts makes it preferable to start at the Routeburn Shelter near Glenorchy in the East, and finish at the Divide Shelter, just outside of Milford and Te Anau in the West.
All Routeburn track transport times and prices are valid until April 30, 2010. Please note that our regular scheduled services will not be running on 25th Dec 2009.
Please note that services to and from the Divide do not pass through Glenorchy.
