Precious Silence

Other worldly. Silent. No-one else, just you, your breath, your thoughts and your own private group. Experience snowshoeing and camping on the easy going, snow-covered rolling tops in the spectacular UNESCO South West New Zealand World Heritage Area. Truly unique — no skills or experience required, 12 years old and up.

Wind In The Willows

Our new family experience — 4×4 to a secret river bank (that no-one knows about), far far away in the wilderness for a picnic with hot chocolate, marshmallows and some other good healthy stuff. Explore the magical mossy forest and bask in some wild family time (device free). For bookings, contact us via the ‘Book A Call’ link below and we’ll make it easy for you.

Camping Not Camping

An off the beaten (tourist) track family experience — explore the magical mossy forest, picnic beside the river ahead of your return to Base Camp for dinner before you retire for the night.

Hard Ice

A private guided glacial traverse for smaller groups. Expert glacial guides. Skills instruction. All technical equipment included. World class bucket list experience.

Scramble More Than Amble

Explore a little known, remote river valley and a magical mossy forest before a fantastic scramble up into the alpine zone to find another world teeming with glaciers and snow capped mountains. All well and truly off the beaten (tourist) track.

This One’s For You

We can create and curate a completely unique experience especially for you. Larger groups, small groups or mixed groups. Book a call and let’s chat.

Getting High

We’ll tailor a summit attempt to your experience and ability, with options available for all levels of climbers, from beginners to advanced. Prior to your arrival at Base Camp, we’ll connect via Zoom to ensure a well-planned adventure awaits you.

Falling Water

An enchanting off-track hike through a lesser-known Beech forest to explore an extraordinary alpine basin with endless waterfalls. Discover hidden clearings, a historic mountaineer’s hut and a magical mossy forest.

Gone With The Wind

Heli Hike Day Trip out of Glenorchy

Experience an unbeatable heli-hike in the high alpine zone, tailored to your objectives, fitness, and experience. Helicopter to the start point and we’ll meet you at the end to take you back to Base Camp. We provide all necessary technical equipment, and a custom pack list ensuring a seamless experience.

Fresh Tracks

It’s all about the apres — Base yourself amongst the best heliski terrain in the region, super close to the heli-base. Warm your ski boots by the fire at Base Camp just before we drop you to the nearby helicopter for your amazing day of play. When it’s all done, boots off by the fire and then head straight to our sauna ahead of a night around a long shared table at our wood-fired restaurant before you retire to a cosy mountaineer’s hut.
