A tourist trip across the wilderness of New Zealand, complete with massages and gourmet food.
If you’ve always wanted to see the beauty of New Zealand but don’t feel like taking such a long walk across the country without access to modern conveniences, the Great New Zealand Trek might be just the thing for you. It’s a week-long adventure through some of the best parts of the country that combines the fun of being a wilderness traveler with the relaxation of camp sites that have more amenities than many hotels do.
The tradition of this trek first started in 2006 and has been growing in popularity ever since. At first, New Zealanders were attracted to it for the challenge it presented and the fact that it raised money for Multiple Sclerosis. Now, people from all over the world are coming so that they can see the country and help with the charity as well. The journey is made via horseback, bicycle or your own two feet, however you choose to go.
