Back in May 2020 I posted a video going through my total cost to hike the Te Araroa trail in 2019/20. It's been one of the most popular videos on the channel and has raised a lot of questions, such as just exactly why is Te Araroa SO EXPENSIVE?!?!

So in this video I want to answer the question of what makes Te Araroa so expensive (especially the North Island) by giving you the main factors which, in my opinion, make this trail one of the most expensive long distance trails to hike in the world.

Check out my detailed spreadsheet (linked below) breaking down all of my expenses during my 1800km hike of Te Araroa.
