The Southern Lakes area has some of the most spectacular hiking/trekking terrain in New Zealand.
Due to the geographical location of the Southern Lakes area the weather is generally favourable for trekking most days due to the blocking affect of the Southern Alps. We have a variety of terrain and locations to choose from, hence giving us greater flexibility to talor make the right trip for your experience and aspirations.
As we specialise in alpine trekking ( above the bushline ), your views are enhanced as you are generally at higher elevations. This will also give you mountain awareness and closeness to this wonderful alpine environment. Expect in-depth interpretation of the alpine environment, and identification of native flora and fauna, however your guides primary focus is your safety and enjoyment.
