Luxury walking tours with New Zealand Trails
New Zealand is world-famous as a luxury destination for many reasons. Our scenery is outstanding, our local produce and vineyards are globally-renowned, and we’re home to some of the finest walking tracks and trails on the planet. What better way to experience the beauty of New Zealand than on a luxury walking tour!
Kiwi-style laid-back luxury
As a nation, New Zealanders are typically relaxed, and this extends to our take on luxury. That said, we know how to travel in comfort and relax in style. The team at New Zealand Trails have experienced both ends of the spectrum as far as travel goes, from an expedition to Antarctica and trekking in the Himalayas - decidedly not luxurious - to Michelin star restaurants and private butlers - which was almost too much if we’re honest.
When we designed our World Heritage walking tour, our aim was to create the best small-group luxury walking tour of New Zealand. But seeing as this is New Zealand and we’re Kiwis, we wanted our guests to experience real New Zealand luxury. Not stuffy or elite, but stylish and unique, focusing on the experiences rather than simply focusing on traditional decadence. We also have an exacting eye for detail and know that it’s often the small things which make the difference between standard and truly excellent.
We reckon we've hit the sweet spot with our laid-back luxury walking tours - you'll be away from the rush, but never far from comfort!
Our laid-back luxury ideals include beautiful accommodation in stunning locations, delicious local cuisine enjoyed in outstanding restaurants, New Zealand wines savoured in vineyards with mountain views, high-quality comfortable transport and professional, immensely personable Kiwi guides to share the best of New Zealand’s landscape, culture and history with you.
Your luxury walking tour of New Zealand wouldn't be complete without our favourite hidden gems like this - an outdoor hot tub with incredible (exclusive!) views
The World Heritage trip encompasses all this and much more, earning its reputation as the finest way to experience New Zealand.
