For travellers with serious hiking ambitions or people who just want a gentle stroll, there’s no better country for hiking than New Zealand. This land of glacial valleys, volcanic craters, and subtropical forests offers an incredible variety of safe and accessible hikes.
The crowning glory are the ‘Great Walks’ – a collection of 11 multi-day hiking trails that capture the best of New Zealand’s spectacular landscapes. Though easy enough to complete, tackling any one of them requires planning, including pre-booking and packing the right gear.
