In this episode of The Tramping Life, I explore one of the South Island’s best-known private tramps: the Kaikōura Coast Track.

This 26 km two-day route is run by a pair of local farming families and offers a rare combination of epic coastline, regenerating native bush, farmland, and peaceful accommodation for a maximum of a dozen walkers each day. Day one follows the coast and inland gullies to The Whare, while day two climbs to the 486 m summit of Skull Peak before returning to the Beach House at Ngaroma.

I share my experience walking it in April 2025, from zig-zagging across beaches shaped by the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake to the towering matai, kahikatea, and totara trees of Medina Gully. Along the way, I encountered spectacular viewpoints, quiet inland tracks, and the character-filled cottages that make the overnight stays so memorable.
