Cape Brett Walkways

Its 16 km trail with more than 1800m up and down hills, its a quite hard walk but its so beautiful walk along the way, especially the cape Brett Hut with amazing view of the ocean, the Mountain, and you see many sea creatures there!

An epic walk with epic views. Cape Brett has that pacific azure, the canvas of the Bay of Islands, that makes this one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Through the book Epic Hikes of the World published by Lonely Planet, this is one of the 50 incredible hiking routes in 30 countries, however, before you go there are several things you should really consider/know. (1) This is a fairly long hiking route, prepare enough water, (3L and an energy drink recommended personally) of course it may vary associate with the weather. (2) I believe you found it says: Advanced on DOCs website, in the first 5 hours you might doubt it. By the way its around 22 km on my phone. In the first hours there is a spot with a big water tank collecting rain water, and then you can find a toilet, pest free fence, rangers hut (8 km) on the track, then the cross to the deep water cave, 30 minutes after that the view will get better but steeper road. (3) Do not expect too much for the sceneries, not much there, over 95% of the track is just normal NZ tropical forest, most time you can only see plants around you. (4) There were gas and water in the hut, and some cookers, tableware as well, no showers, but non-flushed toilet, and its warm, even during the midnight, I guess that will depend on and the number of people, have a look on the hut booking website one day before you go, if many people booked it then bring a light sleeping bag, comfortable temp 20 should be enough if there are over 10 people in the hut. (5) To use this track, a 40 NZD nightly permission is request on the DOCs website, and 15 NZD for the hut. And the hut really worth it, and the track not really, but I am willing to pay it if the money can help build the pest free fence and protect local species. (6) If you just want to see those sceneries, there was a water services, try that, and you dont need to pay for the track between the deep water cave and the hut (2.5 hours, but steep).
