Take this unique opportunity to be totally immersed in the pristine wilderness of the West Coast of New Zealand with one of our newest trekking holidays. Over its 7 day duration you will hike through lush rainforest, soak in natural hot pools beneath majestic mountains, visit glaciers and kayak on a giant river delta. Seven days of diversity, spanning much of the length of the West Coast, with a three day trek to remote natural hot pools high in a mountain valley which rises from beneath the Southern Alps.
Soaking in the pools under the huge Milky Way is a trip highlight! Later we have the option to take a guided walk on the spectacular Fox Glacier and marvel at its crevasses and ice caves. We have the option to kayak the tranquil Okarito lagoon and watch native birds feeding in the shallows, or hike to another neighbouring lagoon and explore the coast if the tides allow. A final night on the coast at Haast provides a fitting finale before we head home to end in the renowned Southern Alps playground, Queenstown.
- Drive the west coast down to the remote and secluded Okarito lagoon for a two night camp on the wild beach
- Enjoy a day to explore, paddle the lagoon or trek to vantage points from where the length NZ's Southern Aps can be viewed
- Take the option to join a guided a guided hike on the Fox Glacier and explore the icefalls and crevasses
- Experience the depths of our backcountry as you take a three day hike far into a mountain valley and a comfortable hut for the next two nights
- Relax and soak away the aches in the natural hot pools beneath the vastness of the milky way
- Dine on a meal cooked in hangi-style on the beach as a finale to your trip
- Finish with a drive over the Haast Pass into Wanaka and finally Queenstown, NZ’s adventure capital
