Overview

This two-week trip focuses on the best of New Zealand’s South Island — combining scenic day hikes, unique cultural experiences, and time in some of the country’s most striking landscapes. Starting in Christchurch, we explore the coastline and surrounding hills before boarding the TranzAlpine train across the Southern Alps.

From Punakaiki’s limestone formations and rainforest trails to the glacier region around Fox Glacier, we travel south through the rugged West Coast. Along the way, we meet local Māori hosts, learn about pounamu (greenstone), and share a home-cooked meal with long-time residents.

The journey includes sections of the country’s Great Walks — the Paparoa, Kepler and Routeburn Tracks — as well as time in Wanaka, a cruise on Milford Sound, and hiking beneath Aoraki/Mount Cook. We finish with two nights at a remote hut above Lake Tekapo, in one of the world’s best locations for stargazing.

This is a well-paced and varied trip that gets beyond the usual tourist spots and offers a deeper look at the places, people, and stories of Te Waipounamu — the South Island of New Zealand.

Is this holiday for you?

This adventure is designed for active travellers who enjoy exploring on foot and want to go beyond the typical tourist routes. We’ve included a varied mix of short walks, longer day hikes, and a two-night backcountry hut stay — with walking times ranging from 2 to 6 hours. Some of the hikes follow well-formed tracks, while others involve unmarked terrain, including tussock grasslands, scree slopes, and moderate ascents without a clear path underfoot.

You’ll need to be confident walking on uneven ground and comfortable with uphill sections. While this isn’t a technical trekking holiday, a good level of fitness will help you get the most out of the experience. The sense of remoteness and wilderness is a key feature of this trip — particularly on our overnight hike to Rex Simpson Hut, where you’ll carry your overnight gear in a daypack (bedding is provided at the hut, and main luggage is left behind).

We travel in a comfortable vehicle and keep drive times reasonable, with plenty of opportunities to stop, stretch our legs, and enjoy the scenery. Two experienced driver-guides help ensure a smooth pace throughout the trip. While most of the walks are included, many are optional — and there are a few shorter or rest days to allow for flexibility and personal choice. This trip suits walkers who are looking for a rewarding, varied, and immersive way to experience New Zealand’s South Island.

Why KE?

This brand-new itinerary is a true original — available only with KE. It’s the perfect balance of rewarding hikes, remote wilderness, and rich local encounters. From wild coastlines to stargazing above Lake Tekapo, it’s meaningful, authentic, and beyond the typical tourist trail.

Itinerary

The trip begins at the group hotel in central Christchurch, with a single timed transfer provided from Christchurch Airport. After checking in, you’ll have time to take a short walk—perhaps along the nearby Avon River—or simply relax. Most people enjoy a relaxed evening and early night to feel refreshed for the days ahead

After breakfast this morning, we begin with one of Christchurch’s most scenic coastal walks. Setting out from the Port Hills, we follow the Godley Head Track along dramatic clifftops towards Taylors Mistake. This route offers far-reaching views over Pegasus Bay and the Pacific Ocean, with time to explore the WWII defence sites and spot native wildlife along the way. We also visit Scott’s Cabin, once used by early Antarctic explorers, for a glimpse into New Zealand’s polar history. In the early afternoon, we return to the city. The remainder of the afternoon is free to explore Christchurch’s lively centre, with its mix of street art, green spaces, and modern architecture. There are plenty of cafes and food options available for lunch. This evening, we meet again for a guided walking dinner tour through Christchurch that blends Maori storytelling, local history, and shared kai (food). This special experience is a fitting and flavourful welcome to Aotearoa.

This morning, after breakfast, we transfer to Christchurch Railway Station and board the TranzAlpine- one of the world’s great scenic rail journeys. As we travel westward, the train crosses the sweeping Canterbury Plains before climbing into the Southern Alps via Arthur’s Pass. Along the way, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of alpine rivers, deep gorges, and snow-covered peaks. A café carriage is available on board, offering lunch and refreshments to enjoy as the landscape passes by. By early afternoon, we arrive in the remote lakeside village of Moana, where we disembark and meet our local guides. From here, we continue by road to Punakaiki, located within the wild and beautiful Paparoa National Park. Punakaiki is famous for its dramatic limestone formations and lush coastal rainforest. This afternoon, we’ll stretch our legs on two short walks: the Truman Track, a well-maintained gravel and dirt path through lowland coastal rainforest featuring podocarps, rata, and nikau palms, leading to a secluded beach; and the iconic Pancake Rocks, a 1.1 km paved loop with boardwalks and a few steps that winds through rainforest and coastal limestone. Here, layered rock stacks and blowholes put on a striking natural display when the tide is right. There’s free time later in the day to visit the local Department of Conservation (DOC) centre or browse the nearby shops before dinner.

We start the day with a walk through the Pororari Gorge, one of the most scenic sections of the Paparoa Great Walk. This loop winds through dense rainforest, below limestone cliffs, and alongside the clear waters of the Pororari River, a striking landscape typical of the West Coast's rugged natural beauty. After the walk, we continue south to Hokitika, a small coastal town with a rich cultural heritage. Founded during the gold rush of 1864, Hokitika quickly became a major centre for prospectors and, by late 1866, was one of the most populous settlements in New Zealand. Outside the town, we join members of the Te Rua & Sons whanau (family) for a guided foraging walk along the wild shoreline. We will explore the beach, and learn about the traditional use and spiritual significance of pounamu (greenstone), a stone deeply connected to the identity and ancestry of local Maori iwi (tribes). This evening, we are welcomed into the home and kitchen of our local guide, Rob, and his wife, Col, where we share a relaxed, home-cooked dinner, a warm welcome into West Coast life.

This morning we set out to climb Erica's Peak (2,000m), a rewarding and moderately challenging ascent that offers some of the most spectacular views of the entire trip. As we gain height, the vast sweep of the Mackenzie Basin unfolds below, while the jagged snow-dusted peaks of the Southern Alps dominate the horizon. On a clear day, it's possible to spot Aoraki Mount Cook rising in the distance, along with glacial valleys and shimmering alpine lakes. After reaching the summit and taking time to enjoy the panorama, we return to the hut for a well-earned break. The rest of the afternoon is free to relax at the hut, explore nearby ridgelines, or simply soak up the peace and isolation of this remote high country setting. With no road access or light pollution, this is a rare chance to truly disconnect. As darkness falls, we gather once more for an unforgettable evening of stargazing under some of the clearest night skies on Earth, taking in the brilliance of the Milky Way from this unique alpine hideaway.

                            [description] => We begin the day with a gentle walk around Lake Matheson, famous for its mirror-like reflections of Aoraki Mount Cook and Mount Tasman on still mornings - one of the most photographed spots on the West Coast. The loop track winds through ancient rainforest, offering peaceful views across the lake and surrounding peaks.

After breakfast, we leave the West Coast behind and head inland, crossing the Southern Alps via the scenic Haast Pass. Following the course of the Makarora River, we travel through the remote reaches of Mount Aspiring National Park before arriving in the lakeside town of Wanaka.

Dinner is at your own expense tonight, with plenty of great restaurants and casual dining options within walking distance. Your guide will be happy to make recommendations.

                            [description] => We start the day with a walk through the Pororari Gorge, one of the most scenic sections of the Paparoa Great Walk. This loop winds through dense rainforest, below limestone cliffs, and alongside the clear waters of the Pororari River, a striking landscape typical of the West Coast's rugged natural beauty.



After the walk, we continue south to Hokitika, a small coastal town with a rich cultural heritage. Founded during the gold rush of 1864, Hokitika quickly became a major centre for prospectors and, by late 1866, was one of the most populous settlements in New Zealand.



Outside the town, we join members of the Te Rua & Sons whanau (family) for a guided foraging walk along the wild shoreline. We will explore the beach, and learn about the traditional use and spiritual significance of pounamu (greenstone), a stone deeply connected to the identity and ancestry of local Maori iwi (tribes).

This evening, we are welcomed into the home and kitchen of our local guide, Rob, and his wife, Col, where we share a relaxed, home-cooked dinner, a warm welcome into West Coast life.

Take in the changing scenery as we follow the lake's edge before crossing into the vast, open landscapes of the Mackenzie Basin.

Our journey ends in Twizel, a peaceful town that serves as the gateway to Aoraki Mount Cook National Park. Along the way, there are plenty of spots to stop for lunch, including a variety of local cafés and eateries.

This relaxed travel day gives you a chance to unwind and enjoy the diverse South Island landscapes along the way, before the next chapter of our adventure.

At Milford Sound, we board a nature cruise that takes us through this dramatic fjord, with cliffs rising sharply from the water, cascading waterfalls, and plenty of opportunities to spot local wildlife.

In the afternoon, we return partway and set out on the Key Summit Track, a rewarding alpine hike with sweeping views over the Hollyford Valley and the rugged Darran Mountains.

Dinner is at your own expense this evening in Te Anau, where you can choose from a range of local options.

After checking in, the rest of the afternoon is free to explore at your own pace. You may choose to take a short local walk or simply relax with an optional soak at the Waiho Hot Tubs - outdoor cedar tubs nestled in native bush, with views towards the Southern Alps.

We enjoy a quiet evening here as we prepare for tomorrow's early start and lakeside hike.

                            [description] => This morning we set out to climb Erica's Peak (2,000m), a rewarding and moderately challenging ascent that offers some of the most spectacular views of the entire trip. As we gain height, the vast sweep of the Mackenzie Basin unfolds below, while the jagged snow-dusted peaks of the Southern Alps dominate the horizon. On a clear day, it's possible to spot Aoraki Mount Cook rising in the distance, along with glacial valleys and shimmering alpine lakes. After reaching the summit and taking time to enjoy the panorama, we return to the hut for a well-earned break. The rest of the afternoon is free to relax at the hut, explore nearby ridgelines, or simply soak up the peace and isolation of this remote high country setting. With no road access or light pollution, this is a rare chance to truly disconnect. As darkness falls, we gather once more for an unforgettable evening of stargazing under some of the clearest night skies on Earth, taking in the brilliance of the Milky Way from this unique alpine hideaway.

Setting out from the Port Hills, we follow the Godley Head Track along dramatic clifftops towards Taylors Mistake. This route offers far-reaching views over Pegasus Bay and the Pacific Ocean, with time to explore the WWII defence sites and spot native wildlife along the way. We also visit Scott’s Cabin, once used by early Antarctic explorers, for a glimpse into New Zealand’s polar history.



In the early afternoon, we return to the city. The remainder of the afternoon is free to explore Christchurch’s lively centre, with its mix of street art, green spaces, and modern architecture. There are plenty of cafes and food options available for lunch.



This evening, we meet again for a guided walking dinner tour through Christchurch that blends Maori storytelling, local history, and shared kai (food). This special experience is a fitting and flavourful welcome to Aotearoa.

                            [description] => This morning, after breakfast, we transfer to Christchurch Railway Station and board the TranzAlpine- one of the world’s great scenic rail journeys. As we travel westward, the train crosses the sweeping Canterbury Plains before climbing into the Southern Alps via Arthur’s Pass. Along the way, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of alpine rivers, deep gorges, and snow-covered peaks. A café carriage is available on board, offering lunch and refreshments to enjoy as the landscape passes by.



By early afternoon, we arrive in the remote lakeside village of Moana, where we disembark and meet our local guides. From here, we continue by road to Punakaiki, located within the wild and beautiful Paparoa National Park. Punakaiki is famous for its dramatic limestone formations and lush coastal rainforest.



This afternoon, we’ll stretch our legs on two short walks: the Truman Track, a well-maintained gravel and dirt path through lowland coastal rainforest featuring podocarps, rata, and nikau palms, leading to a secluded beach; and the iconic Pancake Rocks, a 1.1 km paved loop with boardwalks and a few steps that winds through rainforest and coastal limestone. Here, layered rock stacks and blowholes put on a striking natural display when the tide is right.



There’s free time later in the day to visit the local Department of Conservation (DOC) centre or browse the nearby shops before dinner.

Water from the taps is perfectly drinkable on this holiday - please use this to fill your personal bottles for your daily activities. We do not encourage the purchase of single-use plastic bottles.

Whilst we can cater for vegetarians, albeit sometimes with a more limited choice, we cannot always provide for special diets.  Due to the nature of some of the trips that we operate and the countries in which we operate them, it can be very hard (and sometimes impossible) to cater for a wide range of dietary choices and you may have to supplement your meals with food/snacks from home.  If you have specific dietary requirements please do speak to our sales team and they will be able to advise you whether or not we will be able to offer your specific choice.  Please note that we are unable to provide separate menus and cannot accept liability for any problems arising from special dietary requirements or intolerances.

We use a good standard of accommodation throughout the trip, offering a mix of comfortable city hotels, scenic motels, and alpine-style lodges that reflect the character and diversity of New Zealand’s South Island. Accommodation has been carefully chosen for its location, quality, and charm, ranging from our comfortable Christchurch base to welcoming motels on the West Coast and well-located alpine lodges near the mountains.

Most nights will be in well-appointed twin-share rooms with en suite bathrooms. If you're travelling solo, you'll be paired with another guest of the same gender unless you’ve selected the single supplement option, which is available on a limited number of nights for an additional cost.

A highlight of the tour is our two-night stay at the Rex Simpson Hut, a traditional backcountry hut set in a remote alpine basin above Lake Tekapo. This is a fully hosted, private hut experience that offers a more rustic and adventurous stay. Accommodation here is in mixed bunkrooms with shared facilities. There are no showers, but warm water and a basin will be available for washing, and there’s a long-drop toilet with incredible views. The hut is equipped with mattresses, sleeping bags, pillows, sheet-liners, a pot belly stove, gas, and solar lighting — everything you need for a cozy and memorable mountain night. The unique location within a designated Dark Sky Reserve makes this stay truly special.

Each group will be accompanied by 2 professional and qualified tour leaders, who will also share responsibility for driving the support vehicle.

A total of £550 should cover the cost of your miscellaneous expenses, including non included meals. You should take at least some of your travel money in the form of cash and exchange this on arrival in Christchurch. It is not necessary to obtain New Zealand dollars prior to departure. It is possible to withdraw cash from ATM's at towns throughout the trip and credit and debit cards can be widely used. If you are intending to buy expensive souvenirs, you should budget accordingly (plastic cards can be useful in this respect). Also, if you expect to buy considerable quantities of soft drinks or beer, you should make an allowance for this.

Tipping is gratefully received but not expected in New Zealand. It is at your discretion whether or not to reward for excellent service. Tipping in restaurants is also not expected however if you feel the service was of a great standard and you enjoyed the food feel free to tip.

For this holiday you should take one piece of luggage and a daypack. Luggage with wheels is useful for this holiday. For international flights please check your baggage allowance with your airline. For the nights at the Rex Simpson Hut you will not have access to your main baggage. You will need to carry your overnight essentials with you in your rucksack.

From 1 October 2019, travellers must have an NZeTA (New Zealand Travel Authority) to travel to New Zealand. From July 2019 you can request your NZeTA via the Immigration New Zealand mobile app or the Immigration New Zealand website (www.immigration.govt.nz/nzeta). The app is fast, easy to use, and the most affordable option. The cost of the ETA is NZD$9 for requests made via the mobile app and NZD$12 for requests made via the Immigration NZ website. You will be asked to pay your International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) of NZD$35 (Aug 2019) at the same time. ETA requests will take between 5-10 minutes to complete. Once issued, an ETA is valid for up to two years and can be used for multiple visits to NZ. 

The unit of currency in New Zealand is the New Zealand Dollar.

Getting some additional exercise before coming on an active holiday makes a lot of sense. The fitter you are, after all, the more enjoyable you will find the experience. You should be aerobically fit and comfortable with walking for up to 7 hours. Hill walking is the best training, but running, cycling and swimming are also good for developing cardiovascular fitness and stamina.

We run our New Zealand trekking trips during the Southern Hemisphere spring and summer period of November through to March. At this time of year, we can expect temperatures of between 20°C and 25°C during the day, falling to between 10°C and 15°C at night. Surrounded by warm oceans, New Zealand has a maritime climate and does experience rainfall throughout the year. In the South Island, the West Coast receives far more rain than the east of the island, which lies in the rain shadow of the mountains.

As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's ‘Travel Aware campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas. The 'Travel Aware' website provides a single, authoritative source of advice for all kinds of travellers and we recommend that before travel, all KE clients visit the official UK Government website at travelaware.campaign.gov.uk and read the FCDO Travel Advice for their chosen destination. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.

KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe.  Should the FCDO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation.  We receive regular updates directly from the FCDO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground.  If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.

KE do not encourage the use of single use plastic items. We are ensuring that our agents all over the world are working together to reduce the problem and educate those around them. We are leading by example in our KE office by reducing our plastic use.
