You will be collected from your Te Anau hotel each morning and transported to your hikes using quality modern vehicles, fitted out for touring requirements.
Dinner is not included, however, there are plenty of fantastic eateries and restaurants in Te Anau.
Grade: B
The Great Walks follow mostly well-formed tracks with steps or zigzags on steeper sections. This trip is suitable for most ages (8+) who can comfortably walk 3 to 6 hours, including hills. The Kepler Heli-hike is the most challenging day, mainly due to sustained downhill sections that can affect knees. Your guide will plan each day with the landscape, weather, and group fitness in mind to ensure the best experience. A good level of fitness, including hill training, is recommended. You will get the most out of this trip if you can walk for 4 hours on varied, sometimes rough or rocky terrain. While we can accommodate most medical conditions, it is important to let your guide know about these in advance, as existing aches and pains can be aggravated.*
* This trip is not recommended for guests with neurological conditions affecting stability, mobility, or decision making; recent knee injuries or surgery; or moderate to severe joint or heart conditions. It may also not be ideal for those who prefer a faster or more demanding pace, or who would rather hike independently than in a group. We’re always happy to tailor these Great Walks on a private basis to meet most needs. If any of these apply to you, please contact us to discuss booking a private trip.
The Distinction Luxmore Hotel in Te Anau will be your home base each night of your stay. The accommodation offers free unlimited WIFI and two on-site restaurants and is nestled in the heart of Te Anau, an easy walk from anywhere in the town!
Hotel upgrade available: Upgrade your accommodation and base yourself in a Lakeview Room* at the Distinction Te Anau Hotel and Villas. Surrounded by extensive, colourful gardens and overlooking spectacular Lake Te Anau and the Fiordland ranges, this 4 star hotel offer an elegant option for your time on the hiking package.
*Though we attempt to provide a Lakeview room, on occasion this may not always be available so we will provide a Run of House room, and waitlist for the Lakeview room. Limited availability, on request only.

Other things to bring
Your breakfast is included each morning and served at your hotel before the day’s activities. We’ll provide a hearty packed lunch each day (excluding water), which is generally enough to keep you going on the trail, but you’re welcome to bring extra hiking snacks if you’d like. Dinner is at your own cost and plans each evening, giving you the flexibility to choose where and what you'd like to eat, from local restaurants to casual cafes, so you can enjoy the area's dining options at your own pace.
Your safety is always our priority. Your guides are trained in first aid plus emergency procedures and will carry a first aid kit and emergency equipment. Communication outside Te Anau and on our walks is limited. The guides do have communication available to them in the unlikely case of an emergency. In some cases, you may have more than one guide on a trip.
When booking please indicate if you would like to participate in the Kepler Heli-hiking upgrade.
