Maritime NZ's rescue coordination centre received an SOS from the pair on Te Araroa trail about 2pm yesterday.
The pair sheltered in a hut during poor weather.
A commercial helicopter couldn't get to them -- and the RNZAF's NH90 rescued the pair.
Defence Minister Judith Collins says there was concern they mightn't make it through the night - in horrific weather.
