Before you hit Book

Straight answers about deposits, weather and group sizes. Anything else — the contact form is two clicks away.

Group of travellers on a South Island lookout

Yes — free date moves up to 72 hours before departure, as long as the partners can take you. Inside 72 hours we do our best, but supplier fees may apply.

Per person, twin share. Solo travellers get a single-supplement quote upfront — no hidden extras discovered later.

Most trips suit anyone comfortable walking a couple of hours. The heli-trek is the exception — expect 4–5 hours on rough ground. Tell us your level and we will steer you right.

All year. Winter swaps hiking for skiing and adds our popular casino-event evenings — check the casino events page for the current schedule.
