About this trip
This is a guided walking tour through New Zealand's South Island, moving between lodges rather than campsites or hostels, with a small group of fellow travellers.
You cover some of the country's best-known landscapes on foot — the West Coast, the Southern Alps, and Milford Sound — with a guide leading the way throughout.
It suits people who want to be active during the day but come back to a proper bed and private room each night.
