OTHER WALKING HOLIDAYS IN NEW ZEALAND
MILFORD, ROUTEBURN OR KEPLER
Self-guided wilderness backpacking treks
We offer ‘freedom walks’ on three of the most popular wilderness
areas. We confirm bus and boat transfers to/from the start/finish of
either walk, simple hut accommodation (bring your sleeping bag)
and a pre-track briefing with track/route information/maps. Walkers
are required to provide and carry all their own food, basic cooking
equipment and bedding. Space is very limited so early booking
essential – especially over the summer holiday period. Daily
departures from Queenstown or Te Anau from October to April.
HOLLYFORD TRACK
ABEL TASMAN
Lodge based guided walking or sea kayaking
A gloriously sunny corner of the South Island with a year round mild
climate and a diverse landscape of native beech and rainforest, fernfilled grottos and mountain streams, granite headlands fringing
crystal clear bays and golden beaches, this extraordinary National
Park provides a habitat for forest and sea birds, rays, dolphins and
a seal-breeding colony on Tonga Island.
Carrying only a small daypack, enjoy full or half day guided walks or
sea kayak along the spectacular coast with its pristine clear water
estuaries. Stay at private beachfront lodges with a gourmet meal,
fine wine and good company and let the waves soothe you to sleep
at the end of a relaxing or adventurous day. Departures all year
round from Nelson.
HOLLYFORD TRACK
Guided walk with jet-boating & scenic Milford Sound flight
Geologically spectacular and ever changing, the Hollyford Track
offers dramatic views of snow-capped mountains, glaciers, temperate
rainforests, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, reefs, sand dunes and surf
beaches. The sheer diversity of vegetation and wildlife in this valley
is unparalleled. Join a small group hiking adventure through World
Heritage wilderness, step aboard a jet boat ride down the Hollyford
River and across Lake McKerrow, explore the historical sites of early
pioneers and leave with the stunning scenic flight out over Milford
Sound. Regular departures form Queenstown October to April
BALL PASS TREK
Hut based challenging mountain trek
Mount Cook National Park offers breathtaking views of Aoraki Mount
Cook and New Zealand’s highest mountains. This is a demanding
3-day hike crossing the Mount Cook Range from the Tasman to the
Hooker Valley following the Ball Ridge, via the Caroline Face of Mount
Cook and overlooking Tasman Glacier. Spend two nights at Caroline
Hut (1830m) using the middle day to climb an easy peak and explore
the Ball Glacier with guidance and tuition from a professional mountain
guide. All the required equipment is provided. Regular departures
from Lake Tekapo or Mount Cook from November to April.
TONGARIRO CROSSING
This is our most popular and most requested walking area for the
North Island and is easily accessed from either Wellington or Rotorua
/ Auckland. The Tongariro National Park has dual World Heritage
status including The Tongariro Alpine Crossing and the Northern
Circuit. The three active andesitic
volcanoes, Mount Tongariro, Mount
Ngauruhoe and Mount Ruapehu, are
majestic, dramatic peaks with amazing
textures, colours in a unique landscape.
Regular departures from Tongariro
from October to March.
QUEEN CHARLOTTE WALK
QUEEN CHARLOTTE WALK
Walk the north of the South Island where Captain James Cook sailed
into the calm waters of Marlborough Sounds in the late 17th century.
Follow in Cook’s footsteps along the 71-km track to explore the vast
network of drowned river valleys, lush coastal beech forests with
knowledgeable walking guides. Carrying only a small daypack this is
the ideal introduction to the wilderness in comfort. Guided walks feature
quality hotel-style accommodation and gourmet a la carte restaurant
dining. Regular departures from Picton from October to April.
