Remote and wild mountain routes in the heart of New Zealand's South Island. For experienced trekkers who want to see go beyond the tourist trail.


We run remote wilderness trips from 4 to 8 days long.No crowded huts and we rarely see other parties. We stay at preplaced camp sites which means you only carry a light pack. All you need is appropriate clothing, a good pair of walking shoes or hiking boots and a spirit of adventure. You will welcome the comfort of our fantastic home away from home. Our astonishing food is only outdone by the mountain scenery.What makes Wild Walks different? Quality not quantity1. Small trips of 5 clients max.If your definition of a small group is hiking with 12 people, you probably don't want what Wild Walks offers. Most of the areas we go to would be impossible to visit in groups 12 or more. We don't run our trips based on how many people can fit in a bus or minivan. Our groups are based on how many people we can safely take to a remote area with the least impact. 2. Professional mountain guides. And that is all we do. We are not transport operators who take you on a whirlwind tour of the South Island. We provide discerning clients with an intimate wilderness experience. 3. The best guides. Our guides are paid well, live here, and have intimate knowledge of the area. They enjoy what they are doing and strive to share that passion with you. Most importantly, everyone of them is a whole lot of fun to be in the hills with.4. 20 years experience This allows us to take you where others can't. There is no such thing as adventure without risk. Wild Walks are experts at managing that risk so you can enjoy this unique and challenging part of the world.5. We sweat the details. What ever your needs are, we go the extra distance to make sure your trip with us is perfect. We run the best climbing and trekking trips we possibly can, every time.
