Join us and Explore New Zealand on foot and kayak!
Hiking through New Zealand's vast untoutched country is one of the finest ways to experience what this place has to offer. The "Land of the Long White Cloud" was one of the richest bird habitats in the world before it was inhabitated by humans. Millenia of being virtually mammal free caused this land to be filled with unique flora and fauna found only in New Zealand. This adventure explores the northern regions of the South Island via kayak and the Southern Alps on foot.
