Our Latest Outdoor Adventures
Climbing Mount Ngauruhoe
An unmistakable volcanic feature of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, we found Mt Ngauruhoe to be a challenging but rewarding climb. But should you do it?
Taranaki Falls Track
When the weather on the Tongariro Crossing isn't great, the 6km Taranaki Falls walk from Whakapapa is a nice, easy alternative that's worth considering.
Hooker Valley Track
This 10 km family-friendly track is the most popular walk in the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park and offers amazing views of New Zealand's highest mountain, Aoraki/Mount Cook.
Climbing Mount Fox
The Mount Fox Track may be short at just 7.2km return but don't let that fool you. This is a steep, muddy and fairly brutal climb but the views are worth it.
Climbing Roys Peak
For panoramic views of Lake Wanaka and the snow-covered peaks of Mount Aspiring National Park, the climb to the summit of Roys Peak is a tough but very rewarding walk.
Coromandel Walkway
The Coromandel Coastal Walkway and Cycle Path is a 10km easy grade route that offers stunning views of the peninsula’s rocky cliffs and azure blue bays – a definite must do.
