Southern Alps via the Milford TrackWalking in Milford Sound, New Zealand Southern Alps, South Island, New Zealand. This vast area includes Mt. Cook, where Hillary trained for Everest, as well as the Fjordland region where one can hike the 4-day Milford Track - touted by New Zealanders as “the finest walk in the world.” The Milford Track follows pristine glacier-carved valleys, crosses a pass with spectacular views, passes beneath Sutherland Falls (one of the world’s highest) and ends up in Milford Sound, possibly the world’s most beautiful fjord. This trek is extremely popular and there is a limit to the number of hikers allowed per day in summer, so if you plan to do it you must reserve your 4 days up to 6 months in advance – and hope for good weather when your time comes. The Routeburn Track is also very scenic and there are a number of other great options as well.

Otago Back Country Gold Cycling TrailCycling in South Island, New Zealand The route from Dunedin to Queenstown via the back roads of Central Otago is stunning. The landscape is like no other that I have seen before – huge wild landscapes with golden tussocks and crazy rock formations. It has the perfect terrain and interest value for a fantastic off-road bike tour. The trip has great variety including some beautiful coastlines of Eastern Otago, stunning mountain valleys following meandering rivers in a region which can be the hottest (in summer), coldest (in winter) and driest in New Zealand. The route has world class vineyards and abandoned goldfields, the scene of a massive gold rush in the 1860’s and more recently used as settings for the famous “Lord of the Rings” movies. Covering 30-85kms per day; the terrain is ‘rolling’ and most enjoyable with a reasonable level of fitness. The Back Country Gold Trail has been put together as a fully supported and guided trip. Riding it this way allows you to simply enjoy the biking and the scenes with a support vehicle behind to carry all your gear, or to hitch a ride if you feel like a break from the saddle. Picnic lunches are supplied each day and accommodation is in a variety of guesthouses, hostels and lodges with the ever-present hot showers, cold beers and opportunities to experience some of New Zealand’s finest hospitality and local cuisine.
