The journey leads you through pockets of native forest, along the historic ferryman’s route, and across ancient glacial terraces. Pause at scenic lookout points and explore remnants of the Snowdon coal mines that whisper stories of the past. For something truly special, stop at the Fantail Shop to send mail from the heart of the bush—a delight you won’t find anywhere else. This easy-to-intermediate walk is a perfect blend of nature, history, and adventure. </paragraph> <gap-large/> <list> <item key="Location">otautahi-christchurch</item> <item key="Distance From CHC Airport">1 hr</item> </list>
