Fault-Line Adventure




FAULT-LINE ADVENTURE 8 DAY HIKING TOUR

This New Zealand adventure travel tour caters for people who want to see 'the real New Zealand' as we venture into some of our most spectacular wilderness areas. At the end of the day we stay in quality Bed & Breakfast accommodation.

New Zealand did not become one of the most diverse and dramatic landforms on earth by accident. We are right over a collision zone of two of the largest slabs of the earth's crust, forming a fault-line. Over millions of years this collision has created the Southern Alps which are the backbone of the south island. During this 8 day adventure, we actually cross over the fault-line twice. These fault-lines have created an amazing 'playground'for us, and you will see it from so many different perspectives whether it be hiking through deep limestone canyons, kayaking across pristine lagoons, jetboating down the Wilkin River or from the air in a helicopter above the mountains of Mt Aspiring National Park.
