Jacq Nesbit started tramping in adulthood and she shares about walking the Heaphy Track from Karamea to Collingwood. Jacq managed to find last-minute tickets on Monday to start the Great Walk on a Thursday - and be back in time for work the following Monday. She details what to expect each day on the Heaphy Track. At 85km, it is the longest Great Walk and often overlooked due to the complex logistics. Jacq shares the best options for shuttle, what to take with you in your pack, as well as her favourite moments from the trail.Heaphy Track bookings for the 25/26 season open on 15 May 2025: ⁠https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/online-bookings/⁠Discover the best of New Zealand with my NZ Map & Guide, featuring 100+ incredible locations for your next adventure.
