ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- New Zealand's South Island is a pretty incredible place, offering some of the best walking and tramping tracks in the country and the Hooker Valley track is right up the top of that list.
The Hooker Valley track is located in the Aoraki Mt Cook National Park is often regarded as the best short walk in New Zealand. The track will take you across 3 swing bridges that cross stunning glacial rivers before arriving at the famous Hooker Lake, a glacial lake complete with icebergs!
The walk is 10km (6.2 miles) which will take you around 3 hours to complete. It's flat and easygoing with an elevation change of about 100m.
Keen to see what all the fuss is about? This is the video for you!

There is another camping ground 5 mins down the road at Glentanner. Still with views of mt cook, and great facilities plus walks, biking,fishing right at the Mt Cook end of lake Pukaki. Usually plenty of spots including powered sites for caravans etc.
Ah awesome thank you for the info, ill pin this comment so others can see it 😊
@@AdventuresWithRosy Yes this was the campground I told you in another of your vids that strong winds blew over some caravans.
Nearly forgot how spectacular that walk is!
Each New Zealander should have this on their to do list. Great shots you got in your video.
Thanks Shannon! Totally agree, should be on everyone's bucket list 😀
It's certainly a wonderful short walk and I'm glad you got sunny weather. Nice 'Harvey cam' up the steps too. Well done Harvey.
He did well! 10km on those little legs was a great effort 😁
Really cool how those tracks and camp sites are kept very tidy. Ive never been there but will visit one day. Great video thanks AWR team
Cheers! Appreciate that 😊 yeh I think it’s due to the numbers but the track was really good, toilets were clean too. There was a DOC warden wandering around too chatting to people which was great
Next best is the Ruakuri walk at Waitomo. Through some cool caves and beautiful native bush! We did the Hooker lake walk in October during spring and were mesmerised by all the avalanches in the valleys.
Was so pleased we made sure to stop here on our trip. The kids do so well with all the walking😃
It’s a neat walk huh! Well worth the drive up the valley 👍
Nice! We’re putting that on our to visit list! And the doc campsite pass is valid there too! Great video :)
Yup the pass is valid which is great 😁
Yes that was incredible walk, Lovely to watch in 45c temperature, Cooled me down. Enjoyed, Cheers Bevan 🤠🇦🇺❤️
45 Degrees!!!! Wow that is hot 😫
@@AdventuresWithRosy Better than the 50c + a couple of years ago Arrrr , like living in an oven 😠
Another amazing video, you guys could write a travel book!!
Haha you reckon! You are too kind ☺️
Excellent video thanks guys, looking forward to doing that walk on our way back up from the bottom in a couple of weeks .
Awesome! Enjoy the walk it’s fantastic
What a beautiful walk! Have you ever been to, or plan to visit Zealandia in Wellington? A video from there would be awesome!
Oh yeh that would be awesome! We will do it next time we are in Wellington 😊
Awesome location 👍😀 We spend nearly a week there every year as part of our annual South Island Road Trip using the DoC Pass 👍 The icebergs at the Tasman Glacier are grander than Hooker one - Well worth the drive and walk to that one 👍
Did you get to see the family of Kea come down at White Horse and the Mt. Cook Lily along the walk ❓🤔 I always miss the Mt. Cook Lily due to wrong time of the year for us 🤦🏻
We didn’t see any Kea unfortunately! Have only seen them when we went to Milford. Sounds like we made a mistake not visiting Tasman Glacier, a few people have said how good it it is… will have to go back 😊
Another one for the list. Last time we were there it was all clouded in and snowing. Be very nice to tick that walk off the list.
Yeh it often seems to be cloudy there! We had awful weather the next day haha
Oh nice, I walked to the first bridge and got half way across before I turned back (I just couldn’t get my head to cross another swing bridge in the South Island (had done about 6) even though they were great bridges to cross I just couldn’t
Fingers crossed next time we are in the South Island I will get across !
Nice! Yeh they are wild swing bridges huh! Well worth going over the second one, there is a nice board walk and great views 👍
@@AdventuresWithRosy a reason to head back to the South Island to try an attempt it again, I’m sure they kids will be more then happy to be dragged back down lol as no one actually wanted to come home 😝
Hi which month was this? Thank you.
We went in Spring, it was a little cold but pretty beautiful with all the snow around
Hopefully going to do this in October!
