A well cut tramping track runs up the north bank of the Taipo from the swingbridge to Taipo Hut. The track is through mature beech forest, and has roots and rocks underfoot in places, so can be slower than expected.

After 1.5km a signpost marks Herbert Creek. This is the turnoff for an unmaintained route over Kakapo Saddle.

A further 3.5km up the main Taipo River track takes you to Taipo Hut, which sits in a small clearing on the track.
