Treks in New Zealand
New Zealand Contrasts
Our popular day walking tour spends time in seven wildly contrasting National Parks in New Zealand's stunning South Island including Abel Tasman coast, West Coast rainforest and glaciers, Fiordland and Milford Sound (Milford Track option), Mt Cook and after a flight to Rotorua, Tongariro National Park.
This ambitious itinerary combines adventure, real walking, good food, and great places to stay, with 'High Places' (and New Zealand's) own informal and relaxed style.
Bush fringed bays and golden beaches of the Abel Tasman National Park
An overnight sail in Milford Sound is a highlight.
PLUS an option to leave us for 4 days to walk the world famous Milford Track (but book early).
The trip ends in Auckland but if you are short of time you can save North Island for next time and end the trip in Christchurch after Mount Cook.
SOUTH ISLAND EXTENSIONS
An opportunity to walk part of the Queen Charlotte Walkway, one of New Zealand’s best known and most picturesque walking tracks. This trip is a great start to our New Zealand trips or as part of your independent visit to the South Island.
NORTH ISLAND EXTENSIONS...
From Auckland, fly or catch a ferry to Great Barrier Island, a volcanic island protecting the Hauraki Gulf from the Pacific Ocean with forest covered hills, magnificent steep rocky pillars and unspoilt beaches. Base yourself in our comfortable accommodation by the coast with walking, mountain biking, kayaking, beaches and hot springs all within reach.
The Bay of Islands, a sheltered bay sprinkled with islands of all sizes and accessible by road or plane from Auckland is a perfect place to recover from jetlag or wind down at the end of your trip. This is where the first settlers arrived and there are beaches, boat trips, dolphins & whales, snorkelling and walks to rocky headlands and though mangrove swamps.
PACIFIC EXTENSIONS
If you are coming all the way from Europe, do consider a few days in the exotic South Pacific before or after your trip. Air New Zealand has the best options for Pacific stopovers en route to/from New Zealand. Our own favourite is the Cook Islands, with very much a New Zealand style, NZ$ currency, relaxed living etc. The main island, Raratonga, is a classic Pacific island, 35kms circumference, with palm fringed beaches, coral lagoons and a rugged mountainous interior.
