Tramping, walking, trekking or bush walking is the best way to see and experience the natural beauty of New Zealand.

Guided Walks in New Zealand

Trekking and walking is a year round activity in New Zealand. You can choose from stunning alpine traverses to sub-tropical lush forest walking tracks.

A walk along a North Island coast takes you along endless sub-tropical beaches, while a detour inland will lead you into thick rainforests that are home to hundreds of species of flora and fauna, many of which are unique to New Zealand. The South Island, famous for its variety of walking tracks, offers mountain ranges with 10,000 foot peaks, rainforests with magnificent waterfalls, crystal clear lakes and streams, and coastal walks along golden sands.

We have researched all of New Zealand's guided walks, and can recommend the following as New Zealand's best. All of these walks are guided throughout, and you only need to carry your personal items. No heavy tents, sleeping bags or cooking utensils on our trips, staying in private lodges and other accommodation each evening. We have graded the trips to give you an indication of how much walking you will be doing and what type of terrain you will be covering.
