The Paparoa Track begins at its southern end from Smoke-ho Carpark. It is worth noting that Smoke-ho Carpark is approximately 6km drive from Blackball township itself. When booking your vehicle relocation, please indicate whether you would like your relocation to be from Smoke-ho Carpark (i.e. where the track begins) or from Blackball (i.e. the township nearest the track).
*Private parking in Punakaiki is $10. (This is passed on by us, directly to the land owners in Punakaiki.)
If you book a Greymouth to Punakaiki vehicle relocation, this includes free secure parking at our Greymouth Depot until the day you finish the track. Your vehicle will then be relocated to the private parking location in Punakaiki.
Once your booking has been confirmed, we will provide details for our lockbox pick up locations, and instructions about where you will find your vehicle after your trip on the track.
