Getting Started
Your starting point for Tiki Tours — sign up, plan your first trip, and explore Aotearoa.
Welcome to Tiki Tours
Tiki Tours is a trip-planning and trail-discovery app built for Aotearoa New Zealand. Whether you are planning a day walk in the Waitakere Ranges or a multi-day tramp through Fiordland, Tiki Tours puts DOC trail data, hut information, and campsite details in one place — and keeps it available offline when you need it most.
This guide will get you up and running in a few minutes.
What You Can Do
- Browse the full DOC trail catalog — search by region, difficulty, duration, or keyword
- Discover huts and campsites — facilities, booking requirements, and locations on the map
- Plan multi-day trips — build itineraries with stops, share them publicly, and export to PDF or iCal
- Go offline — download map tile packs for areas with no cell coverage (Trekker tier)
- Track your fitness — sync with Garmin and Strava, view heart-rate analysis (Trekker tier)

How Trail Data Works
All trail, hut, and campsite information in Tiki Tours is sourced from the Department of Conservation (DOC) via their public API, published under a Creative Commons BY 4.0 licence. We sync this data regularly so you always have current information. Attribution appears on every trail detail page — it is their data and it deserves proper credit.
