SECRET SOUTH SAFARI 10 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. The Dunstan Trail
is an old goldmining route that takes us across the Central
Otago plateau. Then it's on to the Mount Cook region to view
our highest mountain. In South Canterbury we hike to an old
musterer's hut.
Highlights: Walk into the rugged mountains of Fiordland National
Park to beautiful alpine lakes with stunning mountain views.
Kayak beneath massive sea cliffs in Milford Sound while watching
out for basking seals and leaping dolphins. Explore the
spectacular Catlins coast, with beautiful beaches, luxuriant
rain forest, fossilized trees, and rare species of sea lions,
dolphins and penguins. Hike up the rocky slopes of the Ohau
range and look down on turquiose glacial lakes. Gaze in awe at
the contorted forms of glaciers and the snow capped peaks of Mt
Cook. Explore the remarkable volcanic topography of Mt Somers
with its waterfalls and narrow canyons.
