We had a blast on the Tongariro Northern Circuit with our latest guided hiking tour group! After some blistering hot days we appreciated cooler conditions and some cloud cover that didn’t affect overall visibility.

We keep group sizes small on this one, a maximum of 6, so you’re not swallowed up in a big crowd where you don’t learn anyone’s names or feel like just a number.

January is a beautiful time to hike on Aotea/Great Barrier Island. We’ve been out soaking up every moment with our latest guided hiking group. There are lots of swimming opportunities on this tour and when the water is glorious like it was this week, a swim is the perfect end to an amazing Barrier day!

It usually takes us around 3 hours to reach the Pinnacles Hut on the Kauaeranga Kauri Trail and we keep a leisurely pace. Once at the hut we drop our bags and anyone who’s keen heads up the final 30 minute section to the Pinnacles peak proper.

The last part is steeper and has some exciting features to navigate like this short boulder climb. The views from the top are phenomenal and worth the extra effort!

A big part of our job is environmental education. Every hiker we host on a New Zealand guided walk leaves knowing how (and why) to prevent the spread of kauri dieback disease.

Good boot and pole hygiene is where it all starts!

It’s been a beautiful week in the Coromandel! We’ve been hosting a fun mixed group of walkers from New Zealand, Australia and the USA, showing them the coastal hikes we love.

Our hiking tours are package deals so we put on all the meals, accommodation and transport as well as a local expert guide like Mike here, whose job is to make your 2025 New Zealand holiday an unforgettable event.

We wish you all a happy, healthy 2025 full of excellent outdoor adventures with good friends. Cheers to the New Year!

It’s Christmas, and what have we done? We’ve walked. We’ve walked a bloody long way.

And now it’s time to put our boots up and enjoy some rest and relaxation with good food and good friends. Merry Christmas / Meri Kirihimete to you all 🙏🏼 🎄

A round of applause please for these trail champions who came straight off the Taupō Ironman event and straight into a 4-day guided hike in the Tongariro National Park with us. What a way to travel New Zealand!

It’s been our pleasure and privilege to host another group of walkers on the Coromandel Explorer guided hiking tour! Special mention to 16-year old Marcus and his gran, who spent 4 days enjoying quality time together and making memories.

A big mihi (greeting/thanks) and congratulations to David and Anthony from Australia who’ve just completed our 12-day Bucket List Walk!

They’ve ticked off 3 hiking areas of the North Island - from Coromandel, to Lake Waikaremoana and now Tongariro National Park. An epic adventure to talk about for years to come.

This is the beautiful Pouakai Crossing track on Mt. Taranaki, absolutely unbeatable on days like this! The boardwalk takes us over the precious Ahukawakawa wetland at 920m above sea level.

Experience this Taranaki track, and many others, with us on the Taranaki Discovery Tour, an all-inclusive hiking tour holiday in New Zealand.

The weather this week has felt more like February than December in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and up here on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing it is bluebird skies!

December is a brilliant time to walk the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, before those February and March crowds arrive.

On Day 2 of the 4-day Coromandel Explorer guided hiking tour we head up to the very northern tip of the Coromandel Peninsula to hike the Coromandel Coastal Walkway. We get excellent scenic views from this coastal trail and the big blue Pacific never disappoints!

We’re hosting another fun, adventurous group on the 4-day Coromandel Explorer guided walk this week and ooof what a week it’s been. She’s been a warm one, we feel like we’ve got a head start on summer adventures!

We start the Coromandel Explorer with a trip up Wairere Falls on Day 1. This is the North Islands tallest waterfall!

Kiwi tracks in the snow on Mt. Taranaki! Just knowing they’re there makes the outdoor experience just that little bit sweeter.

We came across these on the Pouakai Crossing track with a guided hiking tour group. After checking with the Holly Hut DOC warden the debate was settled!

There are so many walkers who haven’t yet visited Taranaki and to them we say, get down here! This is a walking and hiking paradise! The forest is spectacular and the people are so genuine and welcoming.

For an easy, package holiday solution, choose our 4-day Taranaki Discovery Tour guided walk - you’ll have a fantastic time and wonder what took you so long.

Off we go, up Razorback and onto the Holly Hut Track that you can see crossing the ridge there on the right.

This is the Pouakai Crossing, an excellent 19km day-walk on the shoulders of mighty Taranaki mounga (mountain). We’ll walk this track, and many others, during the 4-day Taranaki Discovery Tour guided hiking tour.

Tongariro Alpine Crossing #tongariroalpinecrossing

They say the forest is a peaceful place…..then you hear this….( 🔈 🆙) We didn’t investigate because disturbing a nest out of curiosity is never good practice. Do you know what is in here? We all took a guess. Let us know what you think!
