New Zealand Adventure Tours – New Zealand Bike Tours – New Zealand Hiking Vacations

This is our longest running and most popular trip, taking you well off the beaten track into interesting places that we’ve discovered over the years. Go snorkelling with inquisitive seals; do an incredible 3-day guided backpacking, biking, or sea kayaking trip in the Marlborough region; take some of New Zealand’s most stunning day hikes; and go sea kayaking and cycling in various parts of the South Island. If you only come here once in your life, you’ll have seen the best we have to offer and missed very little! It's no wonder it was rated the 9th Greatest Adventure trip in the World by National Geographic Adventure magazine! Complete itinerary Request Information

An active hiking trip at a relaxed pace with lots of creature comforts! You’ll hike through New Zealand’s most stunning vistas, from alpine meadows of multihued wild flowers to craggy mountain peaks and magnificent glacial valleys. You’ll also have the option of hiking the world-renowned Milford Track or the lesser-known, more luxurious Hollyford Track, both located in Fiordland National Park.

A cycling trip with a difference, the Weka is testimony to our (some may say excessive) zeal for biking, and years of experience navigating New Zealand’s roads and trails. We’ll take you on our favourite rides from the stunning coastal routes of the West Coast, to the historic viaducts and tunnels of the Otago Rail Trail. The scenery and terrain you’ll cover is as diverse as it is beautiful. Unlike the larger cycle operators in New Zealand, we know the terrain intimately and we’ll make sure you see the best of it!

The North Island is remarkably different to the South Island. It is a land of active volcanoes, hot springs, geysers, waterfalls, and unique flora and fauna, not to mention the rich cultural history of the local Maori people. This trip packs a whole lot of adventure into just five days, and it links in perfectly with most of our South Island trips. Complete itinerary Request Information

This is our shortest South Island trip. It’s an action-packed, adventure-oriented itinerary that works well if you are looking for an incredible adventure vacation but don’t have a lot of time to see our country, or as part of a longer trip to New Zealand. You’ll see some great parts of New Zealand, but we won’t pretend you’re going to see it all. The Tui trip is about quality not quantity! Complete itinerary Request Information

Family trips are different to regular adventure trips and over the years we’ve entertained lots of families here in New Zealand. This trip is designed so parents, teenagers and children enjoy a wide range of activities together while still having a bit of time out – it is a vacation after all! We venture into several national parks including a memorable overnight hike in Mt. Aspiring National Park, visit natural hot springs at Hanmer, check out one of New Zealand’s most spectacular glaciers and get out for unforgettable jet boating, rafting and hiking in various parts of the South Island.

New Zealand is at its most dramatic in winter – the snowline is a lot lower, which makes the mountains look amazing, and we get plenty of crisp, clear blue-sky days due to New Zealand’s mild maritime climate. We get out for incredible multi-day guided backpacking trips to alpine hot pools, glaciers and remote snowfields; take some of the best day hikes in the country; and head out for unforgettable sea kayaking, biking, skiing and snowboarding.

Guide's Choice trips are simply one of a kind! Our guides often come to us with great ideas for new activities and places to visit on our trips, so in 2006 we created an annual competition amongst our guides where they design their dream trip - the 'Guide’s Choice trip'! The winner for 2008 is Shona Hore with her trip, the Tokoeka. Past winners include Jim Hawkridge and Lynette Warmington, and you can read more about Jim's  'Xtreme' Rimu trip and Lynette's Hoiho Wildlife trip, on the Guide's Choice page. The Guide's Choice trips are a great option if you've travelled with us in the past. They are also great trips if you've never been here before and want to see a different side of New Zealand, away from the usual tourist trails and into the areas where real New Zealanders go when they're looking for an active adventure!
