Water Taxi Services on Lake Waikaremoana
If your planning to do the Great Walk at Waikaremoana you’re going to have to arrange for either a road pickup at the far end of the walk if your going to start at the Panakeri Hut end first (also known as Onepoto) or you can arrange to be collected by water taxi at the far end of the track (or close by at our designated pickup spot) and then be water taxi’ed home to the Onepoto landing. There are several advantages in doing it this way;
- You get to see the beauty of Waikaremoana from out on the water – a different perspective from on the track
- You get to cut off the last piece of the walk up the Whanganui arm track which is actually along the road
- You can use our pack transfer service to deliver gear at various points along the great walk to make for an easier tramp (great for families)
- You don’t have to travel the windy narrow gravel roads from the Hoprahine landing back to Onepoto or Big Bush base camp
- You can park your vehicle for free at Big Bush and know that your car and belongings are safe
