Overview of your experience

Welcome to the sheer mountains and pure forests of Mt Aspiring National Park. Fly into and explore a remote mountainous area, trek out of the wilderness, then jetboat back to civilisation. Wild tumbling rivers, alpine meadowlands, glacier circs and meltwater lakes with magnificent snow summits above.

This trip takes you to faraway places where you will see few others. Stay in backcountry huts or camp. Day hikes as well as one full-pack carry on Day 3.

This trip departs from Wanaka which is an easy shuttle ride from Queenstown Airport.

This is a sample itinerary of what we can offer for custom groups.  If you have a group of four or more we can craft a trip that suits you.
