After the success of last years New Zealand walking tour we are going to do it all again. This is a walking tour for people who are experienced, fit and love walking along tracks that are not usually offered to the tourist market.
We start off in the Mt Cooke National Park, where this year we hope to see the famous mountain! (We couldnt see the mountain last year due to cloudy weather conditions). We then head south to the Otago Peninsula and the Catlins.
A new addition to the walk this year is a visit to Stewart Island for a feast of sea birds and marine life. Then its north to the Remarkables Ski-field and a wonderful crossing of the Pisa Range.

Our grand finale will be two nights and 3 days in the Mt Aspiring National Park in the Matukituki Valley for the fabulous mountain scenery. A private and secluded hut will be our accommodation for the two nights.
Walks will be mostly day trips on trails and in areas not usually frequented by overseas visitors. You will only need to carry day packs. However there is an overnight walk where sleeping bags and some food etc will need to be carried.
Our Australian guides Coates Senior naturalist, Rick Curtis and Pam Riordan, owner of local WA adventure walking company Inspiration Outdoors will be joined by local walking guide Martin Curtis. Together these three very experienced walkers will ensure each days walking is safe and memorable.
Rick and Martin are brothers who are very entertaining so you can expect the evenings will also be a lot of fun.
