Upukerora Delta Access - True Right

You'll discover a unique short-access route to the Upukerora Delta in Southland's remote Fiordland Community, offering 4WD enthusiasts an intimate glimpse into New Zealand's pristine wilderness. This 0.3 km trail serves as a gateway to one of the region's most spectacular natural features, where tussock lands meet coastal delta formations. The terrain is straightforward with no steep grades, making it accessible for drivers of varying experience levels who want to explore this lesser-known corner of Fiordland.

The drive itself is brief but rewarding, taking you through characteristic Southland landscape toward the delta's true right access point. You'll experience the raw beauty of this undeveloped area, where the meeting of river and sea creates dramatic scenery that changes with the tides and seasons. The flat grade means you can focus on navigating the track surface and soaking in the landscape rather than wrestling with challenging terrain.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and carry essentials for remote travel, as services are limited in the Fiordland Community area. Weather conditions can change rapidly in coastal Southland, so check forecasts and bring appropriate gear. This is an ideal trail for those seeking adventure off the beaten track without requiring advanced 4WD skills, though you should always respect the remote environment and plan your visit accordingly.
