Built for outdoor people who want a solid plan.
Hiko helps you find a good hike, compare the essentials, and share a shortlist with your crew. It is made for New Zealand tracks and the way people actually plan here.
The website is for discovery and planning. The mobile app is for on-the-go tools when you are already out there. Both are under active development.
We are building Hiko in public and shipping improvements as we go. The goal is a clean, reliable hiking platform for locals and visitors.
How Hiko works
A simple flow. Find a track, share a plan, and head out.
Principles
How we make decisions when building features.
Difficulty, time, distance, and key notes are easy to scan so you can choose faster.
Official references and alerts are always close when conditions change.
Tools that make it easier to lock in a plan and get everyone on the same page.
Designed around NZ tracks, conditions, and how locals and visitors actually hike here.
Completions and community signals help surface reliable picks over time.
A clean, glassy UI that stays out of the way and keeps the important info readable.
Team
A small team building something we want to use ourselves.
Focused on planning clarity, user experience, and making Hiko feel simple and reliable.
