All tracks are guided walks.
You will need to attend a pre departure briefing, which
will be held in our Queenstown office the evening before
departure at 5pm.
The Grand Traverse starts on the shores of Lake
Wakitipu and stretches the length of the Greenstone
and Routeburn Valleys, crossing the main divide twice
in the process.
The Greenstone and Routeburn Tracks have long been New
Zealand's most accessible and popular routes
into the spectacular South Island high country.
The Grand Traverse passes through two national
parks, Fiordland and Mount Aspiring, and is part of Te
Wahipounamu, South West New Zealand World Heritage Area.
The pristine bush is home to a myriad of native
birdlife: the Robin; Kea; Fantail; Parakeet; Bellbird; and
Yellowhead, just to name a few. The sheer isolation
and raw beauty of the Greenstone provide the perfect
stage for the breathtaking scenery of the Routeburn.
An unsurpassable combination to make a memorable
walking experience.
The Grand Traverse is a 6 day / 5 night
Queenstown to Queenstown all-inclusive guided walk in New
Zealand's South Island high country. The package
includes all transport, accommodation, meals, snacks, backpacks
and rain jackets.
Accommodation is in our fully serviced lodges and
you will be led by our expert guides. The Grand
Traverse Guided Walk is one of the best ways
to experience New Zealand's back country. The
advent of guided walking has made these areas accessible
to a great number of people who otherwise may have missed
out. It is important to remember, however, that
the Routeburn and Greenstone Tracks are remote
wilderness areas.
While our lodges have been been designed for your
comfort, we are still without a number of modern
amenities such as telephones, faxes and email.
Mobile phones do not work on the track so save yourself
the extra weight.
We have radio contact in case of emergency but otherwise you
will cut off from the rest of the world for a few
days.
All our lodges have toilets, as do our lunch shelters.
There are other toilets on route at certain locations.
For dates please enquire.
