Backcountry hut ticket terms and conditions

If you are wanting to travel to Piripiri Hut via Ngamoko Range, be aware DOC does not manage nor mark a track south along the ridge and down to Piripiri Hut.

Much of the terrain is challenging subalpine scrub making travel slow. This trip should only be attempted by people with good fitness and a high level of experience in navigating and travelling in backcountry and remote areas.”
