The tracks can be walked or biked from either direction and when combined with a jet boat ride on the Whanganui River create a unique tramping or biking and boating circuit.
The track follows old road lines with good gradient. Approximate walking times for the track are:
- Whakahoro to Mangapurua Landing: 13 hours (6 hours to Mangapurua/Kaiwhakauka junction)
- Ruatītī Road end to Mangapurua Landing: 11 hours 4 hours to Mangapurua/Kaiwhakauka junction)
These allow for leisurely walking. Biking times are approximately half the stated walking time, times are roughly the same if done in reverse.
