New Zealand

VBT's New Zealand hike & bike tour is fabulous! I really enjoyed the amazing scenery on both our trail rides and our hikes. The guides were super enthusiastic and knowledgeable, I learned so much about the culture and flora and fauna of New Zealand.

This trip revealed scenery unmatched anywhere in the world. We went from tropical rain forests to glaciers to the ocean. The bike trails were great and the accommodations and guides were outstanding. The trip exposed us to the people and natural treasures of the South Island.

The excellent adventure would not have happened without our guides, Mark and Sarah - native Kiwis - whose vast knowledge of the history, flora and fauna, as well as their ability to form a trusting team out of a group of strangers, created a glorious and memorable experience. Our fellow walkers, now friends, were a very interesting mix of diverse and engaging people.

This was my first trip with Country Walkers and also my first trip to New Zealand. From our first experience with the delightful driver at the Aukland airport provided by Country Walkers to the last hike together with our guides Mark and Sarah this trip was exceptional. I have such fond memories of places visited and friendships nurtured on the trails. I am so grateful for the experiences this walking tour provided. Thank you Mark and Sarah! You are awesome!
