## Description

**Te Araroa - The Trail App** is the official free app from the Te Araroa Trust for walking New Zealand’s 3,000 km trail from Cape Reinga to Bluff. Download the complete route before you leave and navigate without mobile signal or data using offline topographic maps, GPS tracking and detailed trail information.

Plan and track your journey with official northbound or southbound trail notes, elevation profiles, huts, campsites, water sources, hostels, alerts, weather forecasts and offline tide tables. Monitor progress section by section, view route history, receive closure and hazard updates, and discover trail-supporting businesses and volunteer opportunities. The app is designed for backcountry use, but does not replace proper preparation, maps, safety equipment or a personal locator beacon.
