5 tips for hiking the Greenstone-Caples track in New Zealand

5 tips for hiking the Greenstone-Caples track in South Island of New Zealand:

00:00 Start
00:46 Combine it with the Routeburn track to lengthen your back-country experience.
1:55 If tight with time then hike the Caples track/valley, not the Greenstone one.
02:42 Wild camping is very difficult, instead use the campsites next to the huts.
4:00 Spot the birds! There are more birds in the Caples valley than usual in NZ, take the opportunity and try to spot as many different ones as you can.
05:29 Take a swim! The Greenstone and Caples rivers are very swimming friendly.
