Making sure you’re well prepared for all eventualities when you’re out on a day hike in NZ is the best way to stay safe and maximise your enjoyment of the trail.

This day hike gear list covering everything you need to pack for a day hike in New Zealand is useful for hikes up to 6 hours. If you’re going to be out for longer than that, you may also consider taking some additional contingencies (such as a more substantial shelter) from my overnight/multi-day hike gear list.
