The Caples and Greenstone tracks start from the carpark at the end of Greenstone Road, 86 km from Queenstown, via Glenorchy.

The road from Kinloch to the Greenstone carpark (last 11 km) is a backcountry gravel road with fords. Road conditions vary. Not suitable for large campervans.

Alternatively, the tracks can be started from Lake Howden outlet on the Routeburn Track, which is one hour's walk from the Divide on State Highway 94, 80 km from Te Anau on the road to Milford Sound.

In summer, both ends of the tracks are serviced daily by various transport companies. Contact the operators for schedules.
