Plan & prepare

It’s important to plan, prepare and equip yourself well. Have the right gear and skills required for the trip and always check the latest information about facilities you plan to use and local weather conditions.

The Nelson/Marlborough track update has the latest information on the Travers-Sabine Circuit. It is updated weekly in summer and monthly in winter. See track updates at the visitor centre notice-boards. Check with visitor centres for the Important Notices to Visitors, which report closures or maintenance on huts, campsites, roads and tracks.
