Resupply Locations
While parts of Te Araroa are relatively easy to resupply from (particularly in the North Island), there are sections where resupply options are more limited. Some of these involve organising a shuttle, or hitchhiking to the nearest town.
The locations where hikers often send supply boxes are:
