If you were to dream up your perfect job would it be filled with action-packed days hiking in Mt Cook, swimming with dolphins in Kaikoura, heli-hiking on the Kepler, and kayaking in Queen Charlotte Sound? How about a morning commute that involves a bush plane and a jet boat to your day at “work” hiking with an awesome group of people in the remote Siberia Valley?

We are passionate Kiwis doing what it takes to deliver each of our guests an unforgettable experience as they hike, bike, kayak and adventure their way around our amazing country.
