Kea Point Track

Start at the DOC visitor centre and cross over the road to the Hooker valley campground and car park. The walk gently winds its way through subalpine grasslands and scrub to the Mueller Glacier moraine wall, with stunning views of Aoraki/Mount Cook and the Main Divide on good days. The track passes through a landscape that was formed in 1913 when a stream cut through from the glacier to the original Hermitage site, damaging the building. The walk ends at a viewing deck that gives stunning views of Mount Sefton, The Footstool, Hooker valley, Mueller Glacier lake and Aoraki/Mount Cook. The track is 2hr (approx.) return from the village and 1hr (approx.) return from the White Horse Hill campground and carpark. In good weather an all-terrain buggy can be pushed along this walk. As this is an exposed walk, don’t walk it on windy or wet days.
