Day 3: Upper Te Hoe Hut to Mangakahika Hut
Time: 8 hr 30 min
km The track climbs about 300 m before dropping down to the Te Hoe bluffs on the way to Central Te Hoe Hut. Cross the Te Hoe suspension bridge for a lunch break at Central Te Hoe Hut – Whirinaki’s southernmost hut. After lunch, backtrack across the suspension bridge and carry on north for 3 hr 30 min (8.5 km) to Mangakahika Hut for night three. Note: Parallel Creek bridge is closed due to cyclone damage in 2017. The bridge is 10 minutes north of Central Te Hoe Hut along the track to Mangakahika Hut. A temporary marked track has been added for people to cross. Cross the creek below the bridge or where it is low and safe to do so. Check the weather forecast for rain or previous rainfall, as this will cause the stream to rise rapidly.
