Secret South Safari




SECRET SOUTH SAFARI 11 DAY HIKING TOUR

This safari takes you to areas of New Zealand seldom visited by other travellers. It starts with 4 days hiking and kayaking in Fiordland National Park. We then head to the Catlins, famous for its beautiful beaches and abundant wildlife - Hector's dolphins, New Zealand sea lions and yellow-eyed penguins. We take a rest day in Alexandra, with optional cycling on an historic rail trail. Then it's on to the Mount Cook region to view our highest mountain. In South Canterbury we hike up a canyon through an ancient volcanic landscape.
