A unique philosophy to hiking in New Zealand - Treks by Aspiring Guides

Take the road less travelled. We guide only small groups (max 5) on our New Zealand trekking adventures. Let us take you on a true NZ wilderness trek - where no one else can. From seriously tough multi-day alpine treks to easier, family-orientated hiking and camping, we provide a true wilderness experience.

The wild and remote nature of New Zealand's landscape and weather means that, for most people, backcountry travel is limited to a few well established walking trails. While these popular tracks are often called "The Great Walks" they are not the best walks - just the popular ones!

Based out of Wanaka and Queenstown, our Treks explore the lesser travelled corners of the Mt Aspiring National Park and the South West World Heritage Area - where the scenery is always spectacular, and the challenges many.

Come and join us for a Trek in the unique NZ wilderness - join a scheduled trek or book a private trip now!
