Grade: B
The Great Walks are mostly well-formed tracks, and the steeper places are either negotiated by steps or zigzags. The trip is suitable for most ages (8+ years) and for those who have the physical ability to walk 3-6 hours, including up and down hills.
The Kepler Heli-hike is the hardest day, due to the mostly downhill walking, which can affect knees. Your guide will manage each day to ensure the best possible experience, factoring in the landscape, weather, and group’s fitness levels. If you have a good level of fitness, including hill training, you will find each day highly rewarding. We recommend you are capable of walking for 4 hours on varied terrain to get the most out of this package. Although the tracks are well-formed, they can be rough and rocky underfoot in some places. Most of us have aches and pains from time to time. This trip can aggravate those. We can accommodate most medical conditions*, but it is important that you disclose these to the guide before participating.
*This trip is not recommended for guests with neurological conditions that affect stability, mobility, and decision making. It is also not suitable for those with recent knee injuries, recent surgery, moderate to severe joint issues and moderate to severe heart conditions. Finally, this trip is not suitable for those who may wish to physically extend themselves by going further or faster than the average person, or for those who are not interested in participating in a group activity. However, we believe in giving everyone the opportunity to experience these Great Walks in a way that meets their wants and needs, and we can accommodate most restrictions on a private basis. If you think you fall into one of the categories listed above, 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!
