If you are planning to go hiking in New Zealand or just looking for an authentic New Zealand outdoor experience, then you are making the right choice when you allow the team at Hiking New Zealand to assist with your travel plans.
Not only will we provide guidance in choosing the right adventure we are then able to organise your accommodation and transport throughout the country, and also offer you a number of guided activities in key locations.
We are a small and passionate team who get real enjoyment out of finding a match to the best possible experience for you. We have a passion for active travel, wild places and their conservation that we love to share. As avid hikers, mountain bikers, canoeists and "give everything a go" people we are able to use our own personal knowledge and experience to provide guidance on which adventures will ensure your travel expectations are exceeded.
An excellent guide can make the difference between a trip of a lifetime and just an ordinary trip. These handpicked professionals come from a range of backgrounds but all share skills and an infectious enthusiasm for the country that will connect you with the land and its people, and ensure that your trip is truly inspiring, a huge amount of fun and safe. Please be gentle with your guide - good guides are hard to find!
