The Humpridge is a fantastic track - mostly uphill on day one (not too bad - and it's good for you!), mostly downhill on day two and flat walking for day 3 - but with a tonne of variety of scenery that seems to change every half hour or so and the best DOC lodges and food. We took the guided option with friends from US and France and hence didn't have to worry about food at all as everything was supplied and cooked for us. Freshly smoked salmon on day 2 evening was a highlight as were the wines, egg and bacon breakfasts and lunches, too. (I could go on. Food tastes better in NZ). This was our "annual,sort of romantic, get away from the kids for a few days trip" and there was no better way to spend it than walking through gorgeous NZ where no snake, lizard or spider can kill you and one can drink water straight from the stream. We took a helicopter in to start the hike - short but very fun - and then the jet boat option out at end of day 3 which was a highlight. This is NZ before tourists and people even existed - splendid isolation and views across the Fiordland - and no crowds or other hikers really. We maybe saw 2-3 other hikers each day only - an Austrian woman, a Czech guy walking for 2 months and 2 Aussies. Don't overlook this deep south trek....swim with dolphins (really), soak in the great views, get a bit muddy (which was fun by the way) and sleep like logs. And the top loop at Okaka Lodge is just magical - fairy ponds, massive rocks, endless views.

I did "The Hump" during this years edition of the Stump the Hump - it is a fantastic track, built and maintained by the great community of Tuatapere. The walk is outstanding, the lodges in excellent condition and the surrounding nature just breathtaking. If you are looking for a perfect balance of undisturbed alpine nature, forests, beaches, industry culture and history and sustainable community engagement- this is a clear must-do in NZ!

Hi OllieThanks for your time to review the Track. This is not company policy in regards to the drying rooms and we are happy this has been brought to our attention as this has never been a message we have conveyed to the staff. In fact it is the contrary. The drying room is an additional point of difference with our lodges and the DOC Huts and we take walker/hiker comfort very seriously and personally I hate putting on wet boots even if they will be wet after 5 minutes the next day. Sorry we let you down but once again thanks for bringing this to our attention and this has been sorted.regardsPete

I'll divide this review in positive and negative:Positive:- the views are out of this world!- the track is well signposted - friendly staff- the lodges are the perfect thing to come to after a long day of hiking- complimentary porridge in the mornings- amazing boardwalks (17km)- birds and plants everywhere- swimming with hector dolphinsNegative- the Percy Burn Viaduct was closed, so we had to walk around it- some parts of the railway track (end of second day) were very muddy and sometimes there was no way around itThings to remember:- take some good insect repellent with you (the sandflies are waiting for you ;))All in all the humpbridge track was an amazing experience! This is track we recommend to friends already and when we'll come back with friends we'll do it again :)The negative aspects I mentioned were just unexpected (viaduct) and a challenge (the mud). Don't let this stand in the way of giving this track a shot - you won't regret it!

Recently we did a quick 2 day walk on the circuit, combining days 2 and 3 together. We travelled lightly and were of reasonable fitness. We found this achievable and very rewarding. We were treated to outstanding weather and swimming with the dolphins at Port Craig was a highlight. There is fantastic variety in this walk and it exceeded our expectations, to be fair I don't think the name "Hump Ridge" does it justice, it is so much more than this . Highly recommend this walk, it is certainly worth the journey south.
