Hiking the Southern Alps
On this adventure, you'll be enamoured by the spectacular wilderness of New Zealand's South Island.
Starting in the rugged rocky outcrops of Mt Somers, begin your trek across challenging high country of beech forest and tussock slopes. You will have time to marvel at the pristine, turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo before making your way up the Hooker Valley.
Face the daunting 1800 steps to Sealy Tarns knowing you'll soon be rewarded with the landscape of the Hooker and Mueller glaciers, and the majestic summits of Aoraki, Sefton and Footstool. You can expect breathtaking 360 degree views of New Zealand’s highest mountains, of glaciers and ice cliffs, startling rock faces and deep canyons. The final leg of your adventure will be the spectacular vista of the Rob Roy Glacier before you make your way to the infamous resort town, Queenstown.
