Spectacular New Zealand - a cultural hiking adventure
March 1-17, 2019
This ultimate “kiwi’ sampler features the Milford Track with native NZ guides and full-service accommodations, Auckland and Queenstown cultural highlights, part of the Routeburn track, ascent of Ben Lomond and Roy’s peaks, Maori culture, and wine-tasting. Intermediate hiking [7-13 miles, up to ~4,000’ gain] with just a daypack.
Following the main trip, we spent five days on mountain bikes traversing the Otago Rail Trail in southeast corner of the south island. ~150km of intermediate cycling in a beautiful farmlands that contain a ‘gold rush’ historical past.
