Adventure South have searched New Zealand's South Island for exciting and beautiful terrain to create unforgettable walking vacations. With our extensive local knowledge we take you to the hidden secrets of the South Island, as we visit the best of the regions walking tracks offering full days of mountain and coastal walking with comfortable vehicle travel in-between.

Remarkable Adventures is a unique collection of small group, multi-activity New Zealand adventure tours. These tours are suitable for people of all ages and of average fitness - not necessarily the hardened sportsperson! They are aimed at those sophisticated travellers seeking a guided active New Zealand vacation, which includes the "honey pots" but also steps aside from the mainstream to explore the less visited side of the country.
Our tours provide the intimacy of small groups combined with the opportunity to get off the beaten track. We get to experience Kiwi hospitality and to enjoy the comfort of quality accommodation all under the watchful eye of our knowledgeable, professional guides.

New Zealand Adventure Odyssey trips explore both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Either as a 14 day tour of both islands, 9 day tour of the South Island or a 6 day tour of the North Island. They offer you a variety of exciting half and full day adventures, with each night spent in comfortable motel, lodge or hotel accommodation.

Southern Alps Trek:
A spectacular 7 day itinerary featuring some of the best mountain walking in New Zealand, some incredible heli-hiking with stays in remote but comfortable mountain huts, interspersed with nights at quality lodgings. A mixture of remote untracked terrain, and formed tracks of a friendly grade. [until end of March '09]

Why Travel to New Zealand?

This is hiker heaven, with a superb variety and splendour of landscapes, from glaciers to subtropical forests, but hosting no deadly land creatures, New Zealand has some of the safest, prettiest, great walks of the planet. The government has encouraged eco-friendly hiking track development through some exquisite areas.
New Zealand is also good for other more lunatic outdoor activities, has many miles of excellent beaches, is small, easy to get around, inexpensive and English speaking.
There's a lot of budget accommodation available and the local people are relaxed and friendly.

However, in terms of exotic culture there's not much happening [why do you think locals started throwing themselves off bridges attached to a rubber band?], though Maoris do touristy face-pulling on demand and Auckland has some Polynesian offerings.
Sand flies [wicked bloodsucking midges] are omnipresent, and not just in sand.
