Activities

Each trip focuses on a wide variety of outdoor adventures to experience New Zealand's most pristine spots and remote wilderness. Whether you're a hiker, a paddler or a cyclist, we'll show you the best New Zealand has to offer. Click on the links below to read more about the activities we feature on our trips.

Outdoor adventures: Our trips are as much about where we go as what we do to get there!

In addition to our scheduled multi-activity, outdoor adventure trips around New Zealand, we occasionally run custom trips from 5 to 22 days long. Our custom trips usually concentrate on a special interest. For instance, we sometimes run a custom mountain biking trip, which will cover some of the spectacular mountain biking tracks in New Zealand including a 2 or 3 day mountain bike trip into the back country. Or a custom sailing/rafting trip, which includes multi-day rafting and sailing modules. You can join a scheduled trip, a custom trip, or just a portion of any trip.

Sea Kayaking We stay in protected waters, so it’s suitable for beginners, but even veterans paddlers will be blown away by the views! Check out our Rimu, Winter Rimu, Tui and Manuka itineraries.

"I’d recommend this trip to anyone with a sense of adventure. It was the best organized trip I’ve ever taken (I’ve used Abercrombie & Kent and Micato Tours before). I really appreciated the absence of sightseeing/shopping/touristy activities and the total focus on activities and a local experience. I felt a world apart from the many Japanese tour buses we passed every day! I felt challenged, but very comfortable and looked forward to getting up each day and finding out what was next."
