Dusky Track Transport

Transport to Dusky Track

Access to the track at the south end of the Dusky (Lake Hauroko Burn) operates every Thursday (and Monday's in peak summer) only. So you are best to start here and walk south to north, ending at West Arm, Manapouri.

We collect at 6:50 am from your Te Anau accommodation, or if you have access to a car we recommend you leave it at Manapouri (where you get off the track) and we would collect you from here at 7:10 am. From here we transport you overland to Clifden corner to connect with Lake Hauroko Tours. They then transport you across the lake to the start of the track, arriving around 10:30 am.

To get off the track at West Arm there are departures everyday across Lake Manapouri with RealNZ.  They do not take bookings (so they do not have to worry about missing, delayed or otherwise trampers), you just turn up and catch the next available boat. The scheduled boats are currently at 11.00 am, and 4.15 pm. If you need a bus back to Te Anau you will need to contact us from West Arm to confirm your arrival time. We will arrange the RealNZ bus or pick up you up ourselves.

The package price includes all transport, it is no longer available to be purchased separately.
