This 10 day New Zealand hiking vacation through the Southern Alps is a must for the slightly more active walker.
We start our trail of hikes with treks on the foothills of the Southern Alps and overnight on edge of Arthur's Pass National Park. Kayak on the quiet lagoons with rare birds and beautiful views of the Southern Alps. Walk amongst the mighty West Coast glaciers with views into the vast glacier cirques.
Take a short flight into a remote valley and experience the thrill of a jet boat ride back to civilisation, the splendor of the glacial landforms in the mighty Fiordland National Park and the serenity of an overnight stay on the Milford Sound beneath Mitre Peak. Walk amidst the ancient beech forests of deepest Fiordland. Explore the remote and hidden lakes nestled within the glaciated landscapes far away from the nearest walker.
Finish the trekking trip in Queenstown or return to Christchurch the following day via the McKenzie Basin and the Canterbury Plains.
