Our guides Brad and Mike have been busy in the Tongariro National Park hosting a group of hikers on the 4-day Tongariro Hiking Tour, which includes the 20.2km Tongariro Alpine Crossing track. There is nothing else quite like this anywhere else in New Zealand!

We’re having a ball on Aotea/Great Barrier Island with our latest guided hiking tour group, enjoying great walks in the fresh air and sunshine, as well as beach visits and swimming opportunities!

We work really, really hard to make your New Zealand guided walk an unforgettable experience. We’ve been guiding hiking tours across the North Island of New Zealand for 21 years and we love what we do.

When you walk with us, you set the pace. We let the fast walkers get underway and the ‘plodders’ work away at the back. You don’t have to worry about holding anyone up, and the day is yours to enjoy.

We designate a ‘tail guide’ to be that final safety backstop, with regular meet points for breaks and refuelling.

It’s always an honour and a privilege to show walkers and hikers all the best tracks in the Coromandel, and our latest 4-day Coromandel Explorer hiking tour group is no exception.

Many of our guests fall in love with Coromandel and don’t want to go home - we remind them that they’ll just have to come back again and again!

Soak up the island-way of life! Our Great Barrier Island Escape guided hiking tour has the perfect balance of track and trail hiking, with lots of pinch-me moments to top off an awesome adventure!

Take your bestie on a guided walking holiday. Get someone else to sort the details so you can just relax, chat and enjoy each others company!

We have scheduled departure dates you can book now on our website. Our all-inclusive packages mean you can just show up with your gear and we’ll take care of the rest!

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!

Experience the dramatic alpine and volcanic landscapes of Tongariro National Park, a unique Dual World Heritage Area.

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!

10/01/2025

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.

31/12/2024

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

24/12/2024

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!

17/12/2024

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.

08/12/2024

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.

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!
