HEAPHY TRACK HELP - Helping hikers’ and bikers’ relocate their vehicles for over 20 years. Heaphy Track transport logistics made cost effective and simple with private and rental vehicle relocation!


The Heaphy Track Help is part of Active Aotearoa which is owned and operated by John and Rachel Cookson.

Active Aotearoa is a small family business run by husband and wife team John and Rachel Cookson. We have two very active young boys Noah and Finn and we all love enjoying the many outdoor opportunities in this wonderful place.

Originally from the UK we moved to New Zealand 14 years ago, and we still constantly discover new things that amaze and delight us. We also have been working in tourism and hospitality for over 20 years, and we draw on those experiences to give our clients well researched information, honest opinions and the best logistical support.

We recently took over Heaphy Track Help from the fantastic previous owners Richard and Janet Brown and look forward to continuing this iconic service helping people have a wonderful, hassle free Heaphy Track experience!

Throughout the busy summer periods, and shoulder biking season, a dedicated team of local Heaphy enthusiast drivers help ensure the high demand of relocations are met.

With our combined experience and love of the NZ outdoors we are the Team to make your Heaphy, Abel Tasman, Wangapeka or other track logistics simple, hassle free and cost effective!
