!! Anne Hut has been destroyed by fire and is no longer available. This means there is 30km leg (approx 13hrs) between Christopher and Boyle Flats Hut. Carrying a tent is recommended !!

 

Weather

Weather can be a tricky one as there is no one area which reports our weather. The best bet is to visit the Metservice site and check out the Canterbury High Country and Buller forecasts and make a decision based on the two.

Shuttles in the Lewis Pass Area

The Boyle River Outdoor Education Centre provides a shuttle service to the top end of the St James walkway and other 'local' tracks/valleys. We are also able to provide reasonably secure parking at the centre for vehicles whilst the owners are out and about.

The costs for shuttles from the Boyle Lodge are:
St James Walkway $25
Nina Valley $15
Doubtful Valley $15
Hope Valley/Windy Point $20

Shuttles are done in the owner’s vehicle and the car is returned to the Centre by the Boyle staff member/guardian for parking. Remember to leave room for the driver!
If you have them, please bring 2 sets of keys.

Sorry we don’t do pick ups.

Parking

Parking at the Lodge is $5 per day for each vehicle.

DOC Hut Tickets

We also have DOC Hut tickets for sale.

Advance booking helps everyone

Please book these services by contacting Boyle River Outdoor Education Centre with your name, contact phone number, and time & date of your shuttle. This ensures that a staff member will be available to do the shuttle.

Backpacker Accomodation

Backpacker Accommodation is sometimes available $26 adult $15 children per night. Please contact us for availability.

Showers

Post activity showers are available at $5
