Plan your trip

Do call in to the Information Centre when you come to Karamea. We look forward to meeting you, and sharing our lovely district and its attractions with you.

Karamea's only aeroplane charter company, offering Heaphy Track and Old Ghost Road transfers.

Create life-long memories at one of our talented tutor, Evey Weavy (Yvonne Hammond) in her Inangahua and Murchison area studios surrounded by native birds and trees. Learn the sustainable practises of Māori weaving (tikanga) and values (toi raranga).

A gentle walk that takes you from the main Oparara Valley car park to the picturesque Moira Gate Arch, located in Kahurangi National Park.

Scotts Beach in Karamea has stunning seascapes and amazing views. The big plus is you will probably have the beach all to yourself.

Guided walks on the Heaphy Track and The Old Ghost Road.

The 85km-long Old Ghost Road traverses majestic native forest, open tussock tops, river flats and forgotten valleys, providing days of adventure and spectacular huts for mountain bikers and trampers.

Situated in the heart of Karamea, we are the first service off the Heaphy Track. Surrounded by the Kahurangi National Park, we offer a world of natural wonderland experiences, or just a holiday "away from it all".

One of New Zealand’s nine great walks, the Heaphy Track, finishes (or starts, depending on which way you’re heading) at Karamea.
