Ōkārito Trig Walk
Ōkārito Trig
A short climb beside Okarito village, with panoramic views from the summit over the lagoon, the Tasman Sea and the Southern Alps.
Starting from the Okarito village car park, this walk takes about an hour return and passes through rainforest. The climb is gentle, and the trig viewpoint at the top offers wide views. On one side lie the lagoon wetlands, with Mount Cook and the Tasman Mountains in the distance. On the other is the coastline of the Tasman Sea. You can extend the walk along the Three Mile Pack Track and return along the beach at low tide, so check the tide tables first. Admission is free.
