Luxury Guided Tours in the Wilderness of the South Island - World Heritage NZ

Location Description: Dramatic landforms, glacial “U” shaped valleys, fiords running to the New Zealand’s west coast and Tasman Sea, Lake Te Anau, the South Islands largest lake, and geologically unique glowworm caves. Iconic Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound. It's here if you ever doubted it, that the travel guides on New Zealand were not exaggerating. Check your bag for camera film, or extra memory cache, you’ll need it.
Unique Activities: You have arrived in the walking capital of the world; home to the Milford, Kepler, Routeburn, Greenstone & Hollyford day and multi-day tracks. Nature hikes for all levels of physical comfort. Opportunities aplenty to get you right up close with New Zealand's most spectacular scenery so you can feel the power of our natural world. Stand in the very places where characters from the movie trilogy, 'Lord Of the Rings' persue their quest through our extraordinary scenery. Drive the most spectacular and dramatic mountain road in the world through Fiordland National Park to Milford Sound- the best part is getting there.
Suggested Optional Activities: Kayak with the seals, dolphins and penguins. Heli flight to remote locations and be 'wowed' with a glacier landing, or explore a mountain limestone cave, podacarp forest, and remote fiords on a private charter yacht. Take a private sunset cruise on the lake or try your luck with evening fly fishing. Cross Lake Te Anau by launch and descend inside the mountain to visit the geologically unique glowworm caves.

Hollyford Valley: Our special place. (I sigh just thinking about it) Walk through spectacular sections of this fabulous ancient Podocarp forest trail.  Involve all your senses as you stroll at your own pace under the giant tree canopy. Pause. Breathe deeply. Let the replenishing happen. Options for the Hollyford Valley include a day walk, an overnight stay in a comfortable remote forest lodge, and walk/fly options to suit your time budget. Visit remote and historic Martins Bay for a wilderness gourmet lunch, and view NZ Fur Seals in their breeding colony. Learn the history, the flora and fauna, conservation issues. Hollyford. It's remote, it's beautiful, it's compelling.
