Kaikoura Wilderness Walks are one of those magical, experiences of a lifetime activities.  The luxury guided walk traverses New Zealand’s highest privately owned land rising to 8,000 feet to Shearwater Lodge, a beautiful guesthouse that holds a maximum of 12 guests.

On the walk, you experience the wide range of ecosystems found here, which includes rare and endangered species of flora and fauna. It is a unique, authentic and sensory wilderness encounter. Because the walk takes place on private land, you won’t see any other people – it’s you, your group and Mother Nature.

Shearwater is a purpose built eco-lodge and is set in a spectacular alpine valley. It provides some of the most outstanding scenery that nature has to offer.

One of the hopes that the Kaikoura Wilderness Walks team has is that they will inspire guests to take away a little of their sustainable practice ideas to their part of the world, along with great memories of their extraordinary New Zealand wilderness experience.

Everyone on the Kaikoura Wilderness Walks will look after you with true Kiwi hospitality. Attention to detail is important to them and nothing is overlooked.
