KAIKOURA WILDERNESS WALKS -
A UNIQUE PRIVATE WALKING TRACK IN NEW ZEALAND


Kaikoura Wilderness Walks, located on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island 2 hours drive north of Christchurch , offers an exclusive 2 day/1 night or 3 day/2 night luxury guided walk through the privately owned Puhi Peaks Nature Reserve, a protected Significant Natural Area of International Importance, renowned as a haven for a diverse array of rare and endangered native species of New Zealand flora and fauna.

You will find many reasons why this exclusive New Zealand guided walk is so deserving of the acclaim it receives, but the fact that a maximum of 12 visitors share in the walk at any one time makes it particularly appealing to those seeking 'the ultimate wilderness experience.'

Guests are treated to an authentic and sensory wilderness encounter, complemented by delicious meals and luxurious accommodation in an outstanding alpine environment.

The walk is a total holistic wilderness experience traversing 3 distinct eco-systems over 3 days. The local knowledgeable guides ensure a suitable walking pace is maintained throughout with frequent stops to describe the abundant flora and fauna that can be seen.
The walk starts at the historic Puhi Peaks Station and traverses beech, fern and ancient totara forests before emerging on to alpine meadows with sweeping vistas of the seaward Kaikoura mountain range. Here you will catch your first glimpse of Shearwater Lodge, set at an elevation of 1000 metres, in a spectacular valley in an outstanding alpine environment.

Shearwater Lodge is an eco-friendly, purpose built luxury lodge and offers the ultimate location in which to relax and unwind. Guests have their own beautifully appointed rooms with en-suite bathroom and private balcony which offers expansive vistas over some of the most spectacular scenery nature has to offer, anywhere in the world.

With two departures each week Kaikoura Wilderness Walks offers an opportunity to experience 'a wilderness walk of a lifetime.'
