These handpicked adventures let you hike, paddle, and wander through the best of New Zealand’s natural wonders, guided by those who know the land intimately.
Whether you're tackling the Milford Track, sea kayaking in Abel Tasman, or soaking in hot springs after a big day out, these tours go beyond sightseeing—they’re a full immersion into the spirit of the land.
If you’re into off-the-beaten-path, small-group, experience-rich travel—this is for you.
These aren’t cookie-cutter trips. They’re for people who care about nature, love a bit of challenge, and value quality over quantity. Some are rugged, some are luxurious—but all are run by experts who live and breathe the places they guide in.
Each tour follows the cancellation policy set by its operator, which is clearly listed before you book.
