When you have such an amazing time that you've already booked another walk 🥳🙏

Thanks to Brendan for sharing this river crossing snap on the Nydia Track and for leaving these kind comments from his recent hike:

'Great work team – and the PLB is a good addition to the trip service... it was of great comfort for us on a damp, challenging first day of the walk.

'All the arrangements for our walk were spot on... from the team in the office, to our transport and accommodation in Havelock. The lodge at Nydia was just superb, with great hosts and a great facility – we were snug and well-fed after a damp day on the walk. We're recommending the GWNZ team and the walk to friends!'

Why walk with us?

In the words of an old Maori proverb: "Mauri tū Mauri ora" – "An active soul is a healthy soul". We couldn't agree more.

On our self guided walks, all logistics will be taken care of for you – that includes character filled accommodations, the tricky luggage transfers, most meals, as well as the detailed route mapping.

Crafted to offer active adventurers maximum flexibility, walkers can choose between a professionally guided, pack-free walk, complete with luggage transfers and carefully selected lodge/cabin style accommodation and a self-guided, full-pack carrying trek, with shared accommodation at a Department of Conservation Great Walk or a private hut.

From the secluded bays in the Marlborough Sounds to the snow-capped peaks of Canterbury; the South Island's rugged West Coast to the aptly named Fiordland, we've curated an unrivalled selection of affordable and flexible self-guided walks that are as diverse as Aotearoa itself.
