Ultimate South Island Adventure

14 Days | Activity Level 3-4 | South Island, New Zealand

Our signature adventure — where it all began 30 years ago. New Zealand is our home, and we’ve spent decades perfecting this two-week journey through the spectacular South Island.

Over 14 days, you’ll venture off the beaten track and deep into the heart of the South Island — hiking, biking, and kayaking through a landscape that constantly surprises. Think alpine valleys, quiet lakes, native forests, and dramatic coastlines — all rolled into one unforgettable trip.

You’ll visit iconic spots like Aoraki Mount Cook and Milford Sound, but also explore lesser-known trails and tucked-away places most visitors never reach. It’s everything the South Island has to offer, and then some — active, immersive, and full of moments that stick with you long after you’re home.

Tour Du Mont Blanc

12 Days | Activity Level 4 | France, Italy, Switzerland

Unlike other Tour du Mont Blanc tours, our trip lets you experience this iconic trail from all angles. Not only will you hike around the spectacular Tour du Mont Blanc Massif, you'll also bike the L'Arve River Trail, and kayak past fairytale-like chateaux on Lake Annecy. 

You’ll earn your croissants and cappuccinos each day, then unwind in cozy mountain lodges with hearty local meals and great company. It’s challenging, rewarding, and absolutely breathtaking from start to finish.

If you're after big views, cultural variety, and classic European trekking with no logistics to worry about, this adventure delivers in every way.

Ultimate North Island Adventure

11 Days | Activity Level 3-4 | North Island, New Zealand

You'll experience a real mix of scenery, from the volcanic peaks and geothermal wonders of the Central Plateau to the long, quiet beaches of the Far North. It’s a journey through some of the North Island’s most iconic and contrasting landscapes. You'll go snorkeling in the beautiful waters surrounding Northland, and hike the epic Tongariro Alpine Crossing through otherworldly landscapes.

Along the way, you’ll connect with local Māori culture — sharing in traditional meals cooked in a hāngī, watching moving cultural performances, and exploring beautifully carved meeting houses and artworks.

If you're looking for variety, culture, and jaw-dropping scenery, this North Island adventure has it all.

We really enjoyed the variety of hikes on this trip and we also really appreciated and enjoyed the Maori experiences. Our guides, Braden and Katie took great care of us. Definitely recommend this tour.

Classic South Island Adventure

8 Days | Activity Level 2 | South Island, New Zealand

Come and spend what could possibly be the best eight days of your life in the southern paradise of New Zealand, where you'll hike, bike, jetboat ride, and immerse yourself in the heart of the Southern Alps.

Each day brings a new kind of adventure — whether it's walking through native beech forests, spotting seals on the beach, or cruising across iconic Milford Sound.

This adventure is packed full of unforgettable moments, getting you off the beaten track in spectacular, diverse landscapes.

Patagonia Hiking Advenutre

14 Days | Activity Level 3-4 | Chile & Argentina

Patagonia is everything you've imagined and more, and this hiking adventure takes you deep into the heart of southern Chile and Argentina, where the landscapes are dramatic, the air is crisp, and every trail leads to dazzling scenery. Over 14 days, you’ll explore iconic national parks like Torres del Paine and Los Glaciares, hike beneath jagged spires, and get up close to calving glaciers.

You’ll spend your days walking through some of the most breathtaking scenery on the planet, and your evenings sharing stories over hearty local meals in cozy lodges or camps.

It’s the kind of trip that leaves your legs tired, your camera full, and your soul seriously satisfied.
