What's New

Posted: 19 Feb 2010

For those looking ahead to October 2010 and beyond, our dates are finalised and bookings are now open. So if your considering a trip to New Zealand for that once in a lifetime walking tour, or your heading down south for a short biking adventure on the Otago Rail Trail, we'd love to see you.

This year most of our departures booked out well in advance, particularly the March & April dates, so get in early to avoid disappointment.
