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.
