This tour takes usually 2 days if you stay one night at Mavora lakes, the second lake is nicer to camp than the first one, and is around 60km from Walter Peak station away, the whole road is gravel but in good conditions without potholes, in the high summer the temperature could reach easily upper 30th, water supply is very limited beside the road.

The second day is much easier 30 km gravel and the last 40 km tarmac, until Te Anau.
