5Highlights
Discover the South Island without the crowds on our 14-day New Zealand Winter Adventure hiking trip. To let you in on a secret, exploring the dramatic landscapes of the South Island during New Zealand’s winter months is largely underrated. Between May
and September, ski fields come to life and mountains look spectacular covered in snow. Highlights:
1. Sea kayak on Okarito lagoon
2. Hike Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park for stunning views of the Park’s glaciers and surrounding mountains
3. Multi-day hikes or day walks in some of New Zealand’s most diverse national parks: Mt Aspiring, Fiordland, Westland and Paparoa
4. Wanaka lakeshore cycling
If you’re ready to see New Zealand in all its beauty, the Winter Adventure in New Zealand is calling your name.
