Tour

overview:

New Zealand’s most spectacular heli-hiking adventure, showcasing the entire north-western corner of the South Island!

Departing by helicopter, flying deep into Kahurangi National Park for an alpine landing and fascinating geological insights from your expert guide. Continue to the legendary Heaphy Track, where your hike, tailored in length to suit you, travels through ancient wilderness towards the wild West Coast.

Emerge at a pristine, secluded beach for a gourmet picnic before lifting off once more. Follow the rugged north-west coastline, soaring above seal colonies, dramatic cliffs and extraordinary rock formations, before landing beside the magnificent natural archways of Wharariki Beach.

Your return flight is equally memorable, taking in sweeping aerial views of Farewell Spit, Golden Bay and the vast landscapes of Kahurangi & Abel Tasman National Parks. Combining remote wilderness, exceptional hiking and unforgettable flying, this is an adventure on an epic scale.

Fantastic and magical day in Abel!

It was such a fantastic and most beautiful day in Abel. Alan is the most funny and informative guide I ever had! I had a wonderful time hiking and taking the cruise with this small group day trip from Nelson. Highly recommend if you are a solo traveller like me.

An absolute must do in Nelson

From start to finish this was an absolutely brilliant experience that we would highly
recommend to anyone who is considering it. Not just a wine tour but a trip around the local area and waterfront. Our driver, Sonia was a wealth of knowledge about the area and the vineyards we visited. Very friendly, easy going and nothing was a problem. Small groups are always the best way to go.

Great day in Golden Bay

This is a very valuable excursion because it gives you a taste of lots of the elements that define this region. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who was refreshingly
enthusiastic and accommodating.

If there is one tour you should go on while in Nelson, this is it!

The full day Abel Tasman cruise and hike. Personalised, knowledgeable, and enjoyable. From the moment of pick-up, to cruising the Abel Tasman coast, then a hike to other beaches - learning about the plants and trees, a stop for a fabulous lunch, and a cruise and
drive back. All wrapped up with a terrific guide and host! Thank you Wayne. Truly 5-star!! Outstanding day. Highly recommend

Zane was the ideal guide for our day trip exploring this area rich with vineyards, art galleries and nature at its best. Informative and personable, we have every confidence in this business and all they offer.
