Heart of the North Tour

Fill your life with experiences, not things.

Walk our secret back country trails away from the crowds. Visit picturesque farms and take in all their rugged seclusion on private walks. Explore the lands that time forgot on some tracks even the locals don't know about. Walk through the forests of the largest mainland ecological island in the world, where the air is filled with bird song in a forest alive with some of our rarest native birds.

Meander along a river that leads to a pure spring and sample some award-winning cheese produced from the rich pastures of the Waikato region. Admire the limestone bluffs that line the gorges of middle earth like lands and admire the rural resilience and beauty that is the heart of our North Island.

Recount stories and experiences from each day's hike over delicious and hearty kiwi meals, matched with a very well-earned New Zealand wines or ales. Unpack, unwind and take the time to soak up the atmosphere of each place as we base ourselves at a charming farmhouse and luxury hilltop glamping for three and two nights respectively.
