Why not fly your packs up on the first day of the Kepler, and enjoy walking light?
About Southern Lakes Helicopters Mt Luxmore Transfers
The first day on the Kepler Track is a beautiful yet challenging climb up to Luxmore Hut. You wind your way through gorgeous beech forest, past enormous rock formations and up into the alpine meadows, with wide-open views out over the mountains and Lake Te Anau. By helicoptering your packs you’ll enjoy the climb more, and have loads of energy to take the side-walk from the hut to the cave system that afternoon. Best of all, you’ll be thanking us for having fresh shoulders for the second day of the walk: the most challenging day.
