Active New Zealand Adventure Tours
Hiking, Biking and Paddling
Are you looking for the adventure trip-of-a-lifetime in New Zealand?
Since 1996 we’ve looked after over 15,000 active people hiking, cycling and kayaking in the stunning New Zealand outdoors. We’re Kiwis, based in Queenstown, and we know New Zealand’s national parks, hiking trails, valleys, bays, backroads and culture like the back of our hands.
If you love trekking, hiking, walking, paddling, cycling, and exploring the outdoors and having fun - you'll love tackling any of our trips.
You’ll love the local haunts, yummiest cafes and fantastic lodges in the most beautiful locations with the Kiwi-est hospitality there is.
You’ll love our uber-fun, omni-capable, tuned-in guides, and with them you'll get a real shot at challenging yourself a little… or a lot!
You’ll love that even though we’ll take you to New Zealand’s most off-the-beaten track locations, there’ll be loads of creature comforts in the evening too.
You’ll love that if you join us for a trip, it's very likely that you'll have the best time. Ever!
