One of the first questions people ask is “How difficult are the walks?”

Let us set your mind at rest. There’s no need for special equipment or technical climbing skills. Our walks are suitable for people of all ages with a reasonable standard of fitness who can walk for five to eight hours on well-constructed walking tracks.

There’s no need to carry anything other than a light daypack, and you won’t find yourself eating spartan meals in a remote hut. Instead, you’ll relax after the day’s excursion with a hot shower in a high-quality lodge that has been chosen for its proximity to local restaurants and cafes.

Adding to the experience, you’ll be in the company of a small group of like-minded people.

Exercise your mind and body

All our walks are guided, and the insights of your guide will add a unique dimension to your holiday.

We have made a point of employing only guides who are local to the area and well qualified to lead groups. Some are Maori and able to tell you about Maori traditions and culture. All of them can explain the local wildlife and open your eyes to fascinating features of the landscape.

The freedom to do it your way

We walk in small groups and offer a personalised service.

You can choose from a varied selection of holidays, ranging from two to four days, in eight scenic areas of New Zealand. No two days are the same. One day you may be following a coastal track to an idyllic cove. The next day you might find yourself in spectacular mountain scenery, or exploring a primeval beech forest.

Built-in rest days allow you to enjoy the other attractions of the area, such as golfing or fishing – or you may just wish to take it easy.

Quite simply, no other holiday offers you the same mix of freedom, activity, comfort and variety, while taking you through a unique and beautiful landscape.
