It is possible to hike the length of New Zealand. The Te Araroa Trail stretches 3000 kilometres from Cape Reinga (the tip of the North Island) to Bluff (the edge of the South Island). To complete the entire trail takes approximately 5 months but of course, it is possible to hike sections of the trail and it is split into 10 regions.
