Wild Walks - a unique philosophy to the
hiking & climbing paradise of New Zealand

The wild and remote nature of New Zealand's landscape and weather means that for most people, backcountry travel is limited to well established walking trails. While these popular tracks are great walks, they are not the best walks. They are only the popular ones.

Take the road less travelled. We guide only small groups (max 5) on our New Zealand hiking and climbing adventures - Wild Walks takes you where no one else can. From tough treks to easy walks, we provide a true wilderness experience.

Our trips are run to the strictest environmental standards of any guiding company in New Zealand.

New Zealand Wild Walks is based out of Wanaka and Queenstown. We specialise in hiking and climbing in New Zealand's Mt Aspiring National Park and the South West World Heritage Area - where the scenery is always spectacular, and the challenges many.

Client comments :

“Thank you, thank you, thank you. We had such a good time hiking – the organization, food and guide get a gold star.”
Jac and Sue Merrill, Nashua New Hampshire

“Thank you for a fantastic experience in New Zealand. PJ and I were absolutely wrapped with the course and Gary was fantastic. Everything from the course content to the food couldn't have been run better. Thanks again and good luck for the future.”
Chris and PJ, Melbourne Australia“

We wanted to say that we really enjoyed our trip in New Zealand, we were particularly impressed with the efficiency of the logistics involved in your organisation. I must say that when you guys say "wild" you really mean "wild", Julie and I had never before encountered such pristine mountains and the ruggedness and beauty of the back country was really the most incredible we have seen. We have experienced different sort of mountains in our various treks, but the New Zealand experience stands in a league of its own.”
Y. Meroud, Singapore

“To climb Mount Aspiring has been my ambition for 20 years…I couldn't have felt safer."
