Glentui Loop Track — Attraction in Canterbury

This is a nice track but it is dangerous in places and those places are not individually sign posted. My partner tripped on the path and slipped down a bank and would have gone over a massive drop off if she had not hit a tree. She suffered multiple fractures and the Westpac helicopter had a massive challenge to extract her which through their skill and professionalism they did. It could easily have been a worse outcome as it was for a lady from Bishopdale who died on the same section 20 years ago. So take care...don’t take kids and make sure you have boots and your hands free and you are paying attention cos it only took a little stumble to go from walk to chopper and weeks of immobility! This is not a walk...

We needed a short walk, that is a loop and something we don't see every day. Glentui Loop Track was exactly what we needed. We took our 3 year old toddler and he had a blast because in some sections it is challenging and it is steep but not overwhelmingly difficult. We went mid June and there is a small river crossing that you have to do by hopping on 4-5 rocks to get through but it's not too bad. Some places it's recommended to hold your child's hand as there are steep areas. Overall the trip was a good...

We walked the loop track today. It is a genuine 1 hour walk which starts & finishes at the same place. Depending which end you start at it is quite steep at the beginning or end. Lots of boggy mud in places after a very wet February. Ordinary walking shoes will do it but something with a bit of grip on the soles will be better. For most of the walk you are either going up or down. You will get your feet wet crossing a small stream. Nice & cool 😁. Good...
