A helicopter will be delivering materials to the Tui Domain Track on 3 March 2026. The track will be closed during this period to ensure safety for the public and the working team. We will be transporting materials up to a remote location to enable us to undertake track renewals.
Following the storms on 21-22 January 2026, we haven't been able to assess all of the tracks yet so please be extremely cautious and check this update on what to expect and a few tips to help keep you safe.
Lipsey Track
The start of the track is steep with several steps to climb. After a while the track starts to level out and follows the contour over the top of a waterfall. After the waterfall the track enters native forest again and joins up with the Horseman’s Track.
At the junction with the Horseman’s Track, walkers have the choice of turning downhill and walking to Te Aroha Domain or the more adventurous may want to turn uphill, taking an alternative route to join the track to the summit above Bald Spur and Whakapipi Lookout.
