Hiking & Exploring in New Zealand

New Zealand

New Zealand may be on the far side of the world, but it’s well worth the journey. This is a place where landscapes change dramatically from one region to the next, where hiking trails lead through ancient forests, along golden beaches, and across dramatic alpine passes. Whether you're into natural wonders, unique wildlife, or discovering new cultures, New Zealand offers a truly rewarding experience for active travelers.

At Macs, we make it easy to explore both the North and South Islands at your own pace. Our most popular walking adventures include The Best of New Zealand, a 26-day journey across iconic tracks and highlights, and Highlights of New Zealand, a shorter but equally inspiring option. Looking for something a little more focused? The South Island Adventure dives deep into Fiordland, glaciers, and the wild beauty of Stewart Island. You can also choose inn-to-inn walking trips like the Abel Tasman Track and Queen Charlotte Track, where every day ends with a cozy stay and a satisfying sense of achievement.

Whether exploring at your pace on a Drive and Hike trip, or choosing a classic trail, New Zealand is a hiker's dream destination. Let Macs Adventure guide you through an unforgettable self-guided New Zealand experience!
