Trail Sharing: Heaphy Track Vehicle Exchange

Call Directions
Operators

A platform that allows you organise your own transport to many of the typically difficult to access one-way trails in New Zealand. Avoid booking shuttles or car relocations, instead connect with other trail users and help each other.

About

Trail Sharing reduces the cost and logistical barriers for trampers, trail runners and cyclists completing the Heaphy Track or another of the many one-way trails throughout New Zealand. It provides a secure means to plan, connect and exchange vehicles so both parties can drive to their respective trail heads before cycling or walking back to their own vehicle. Participating users enter our terms of agreement ensuring both parties are aware of the responsibilities and cover taken on by them, and those that extend to them, during all steps of their Trail Sharing journey. We are a completely free service here to help people enjoy the amazing New Zealand outdoors.
