Overview of your experience

Six hiking-filled days away from the hustle of mainstream tourism. Gaze in awe at formidable glaciers and stunning mountain peaks as you enjoy day walks in Aoraki/ Mt Cook National Park.

Hike up the rocky slopes of the Ohau Range and look down on turquoise glacial lakes. Take a moment to enjoy the serenity as you camp in the wilderness on this excellent overnight hike.

Your second overnight hike is a majestic hike up the Matukituki Valley near Wanaka where the mountain scenery is revealed as you hike gently up the valley. Through the dips in the high peaks glimpse views of the Matterhorn-like Mt Aspiring. A side trip up a gorgeous trail through virgin beech forest emerges into a splendid alpine basin below the bulking mass of the Rob Roy Glacier.  

This amazing trip ends in the adventure capital of New Zealand - Queenstown.  

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