8-14 Day Group Tour Itineraries

The Grand Explorer trip is at the very pinnacle when it comes to adventurous yet indulgent travel. Your days will be spent extensively exploring our magnificent National Parks and hiking the very best, and most exclusive parts of our Great Walks, all with your talented, knowledgeable, and local New Zealand guide at the helm. You’ll be out IN nature, experiencing the real New Zealand, rather than watching it rush by. 

Let us guide you through some wonderfully remote wilderness area’s while traveling with an intimate small group. Comfort is key so you choose if you want a stroll along the beach or strenuous alpine hike – the choice is yours. And at the end of the day you get to enjoy all the comforts of home in our quality lodges and accommodation.

This is the finest walking trip there is.
