Beautiful beaches, pronounced peaks, and wondrous waterfalls are just a few of the fine reasons to embark on a walking holiday in New Zealand. This vibrant country has endless amounts of natural spectacles just begging to be explored. Venture across the globe for a remarkable experience.
Known as Aotearoa, or ‘The Land of the Long White Cloud’ by the indigenous Māori, these beautiful Islands have a rich culture dating back to the 1300s. This gorgeous country also contains an assortment of stunning landscapes and favourable weather - making it an idyllic location for a walking holiday.
To make the most of the vast diversity of sights to see on these islands, our activities will range from thermal springs and waterfalls to dramatic cliff-sides and tall peaks. You’ll have to remind yourself you’re in the same country when one day can be spent admiring craggy volcanic rock and another cooling off by smooth ice glaciers.
In a land plentiful with picturesque panoramas, a highlight of New Zealand is the breathtaking vistas of Milford Sound. Mitre Peak, carpeted in deep green forestry, juts out from the calm waters of the fiord to create a scene so enchanting you will feel you’ve stepped straight into a fairytale.
