Weekday Closures
Due to a pause in forestry harvesting work, the Hūnua Traverse is currently open seven days a week (no weekday closures) until late 2026, at which point closures will resume on the northern section of the Traverse.
Check the current status on our website before you ride.
Alternate Access Routes
Alternative on-road links to various entry points of the Hūnua Traverse are indicated on the map as Alternate Access Routes.
Due to high traffic volumes and speeds (up to 80km/hr), these roads are not suited to novice riders and do not form part of the official Hūnua Traverse Ngā Haerenga Heartland Ride.
