Dusky Track Walk

The pinnacle of New Zealand's alpine walking tracks ...the Dusky Track offers an opportunity for fit experienced trampers to explore Fiordland back country wilderness at it's rawest.

Here is an opportunity to explore one of New Zealand's most daunting tracks the Dusky Track. This is not for the faint hearted. One trip we had half a metre of rain and got stuck in the Loch Maree Hut for two days when the lake level rose 4 metres over night. We hit snow on the tops and then had a near vertical descent clambering down rocks and tree roots hand over hand for four hours …. in the pouring rain. These kind of experiences reinforce the raw nature of the Fiordland wilderness

Grand Traverse

Stewart Island Track

Stewart Island is 24Km (15m) south of New Zealand's South Island, and is best described as one of our best kept secrets. Called Rakiura - "Land of the Glowing Skies" by the Maori, it is renowned for its lingering sunsets of summer and the aurora of winter. With a magical atmosphere and a very tranquil beauty, this untouched paradise of native bush, lush rain forest, sand dunes, wetlands, bush birds and marine life offers the best chance most people will ever have, to see New Zealand's national bird, the Kiwi, in its natural environment. Although populated since the 13th century the current population is still under 400 and is concentrated in just one area. This Island community is well aware of its responsibilities towards safeguarding Stewart island's natural assets. Both in the bush and along the sea-shore are birds of many kinds, offering a wealth of interest to ornithologists and a source of delight to the observant and alert walker. The natural world of Stewart Island is easily accessible, with only 1% of the island settled there is a huge unspoilt area beckoning, offering everything from a gentle nature walk to as demanding an experience as required.
