Day One:

Arrive at The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp and get settled in. You’ll meet your guide who will brief you in and check your gear. We have a licensed wood-fired restaurant ‘Base Camp Food Over Fire’, sauna, cosy mountaineer’s huts — everything you might need for a good night’s sleep ahead of tomorrow’s adventure.

Day Two:

Up nice and early, and after breakfast you’ll meet your guide and climb into one of our Defender 4X4’s to be shuttled to a nearby heli lift zone. It’s a spectacular flight in to the mountains of the UNESCO South West New Zealand World Heritage Area. 

You will all get involved in setting up your high alpine camp. Once all set up, and after you’ve had some refreshments, you’ll head off on your first day’s tramp. Hiking the ‘tops’ is beyond breathtaking. 

Once back at your alpine base you will help with dinner preparations and enjoy spending time with your group far away from technology and truly connected. The star gazing up there is next level too.

Day Three:

Today’s tramp will have been planned by your guide in collaboration with your troupe. Up early, day pack checked and off you’ll head for a day of hiking in the stunning high alpine zone. 

When you’re back at your alpine base — in good time to meet your heli pickup — you will help break camp for the flight back to The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp where we will all be waiting there for you. 

Debrief with your guide (doesn’t take long), sauna and freshen up for dinner with Liz and Maddie in the Base Camp Food Over Fire restaurant.

Day Four:

Breakfast and take your time checking out in the morning, transfers to Queenstown Airport are available if required.
