Trek New Zealand - small group adventure holidays.
Our trips are designed for guests that want to do more than just look at our beautiful scenery from a bus window. Every day we organise the chance to do some easy optional hiking (1-3 hours), as well as adrenalin activities such as tandem skydiving, white water rafting or something a bit more sedate like swimming with the dolphins or sailing.
Activities requiring extra cost are marked with an asterix*.
You do not have to be an athlete to enjoy our adventures, as there are always different grades and lengths of trails to take on our hikes.
Our trips typically have 12 guests with 1 guide. The guests assist throughout the trip to help prepare meals and generally help out to keep their adventure running smoothly.
We use multi-share cabins at ski lodges, Holiday Parks and top class backpacker hotels.
Our typical guest is a 30-something office / professional who wants to get out and experience New Zealand's beauty, as well as having the chance to sit back and relax while our guide takes care of the driving, accommodation and food on their holiday adventure.
Come along and join us for an experience we know you will enjoy ....
