Overview of your experience

Journey through the wilds of southern Westland and be reminded of the rigours early pioneers must have faced.

Kayak across New Zealand's largest unmodified wetland and up into the river delta among towering kahikatea trees.

Help prepare and then eat a hangi meal on Okarito beach.

Join a guided glacier hike on Fox Glacier and explore seracs, ice caves and crevasses. Hike up the Copland Valley and spend two nights soaking in natural hotpools, gazing at 3000-metre peaks.

This amazing week 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.

 

Highlights of your experience

  • Sea kayak Okarito lagoon to observe some of New Zealand’s native birds such as white heron and tui
  • View the impressive Fox Glacier as it descends into rainforest
  • Three-day hike in Westland National Park, where natural hot pools await to reward your efforts
  • TranzAlpine train journey through the heart of the Southern Alps to Greymouth (optional)
