Upukerora Delta Access - True Right

You'll discover a rarely-driven access route to the Upukerora Delta in Southland's remote Fiordland Community, offering 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore one of New Zealand's lesser-known coastal landscapes. This short 0.6 km track provides vehicle access along the true right bank of the delta, making it an ideal addition to a wider exploration of the region's backcountry routes.

The terrain is straightforward with no steep grades, making this an accessible drive for most capable 4WD vehicles. You'll navigate through native bush and open delta country, experiencing the raw character of Southland's southwest landscape. The journey, though brief, rewards you with proximity to the Upukerora waterway and the unique ecology of the delta environment—a destination that sees minimal traffic and retains a genuine sense of solitude.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and equipped for remote area driving, as services and assistance are distant from this location. Given the minimal usage data available through Newtracs, check current conditions and track status before departing. The short distance makes this an excellent quick excursion or waypoint on a longer off-road adventure through Fiordland's backcountry network. Pack supplies for self-sufficiency and respect the pristine natural environment you'll be traversing.
