Home›Guided Hiking Tours

Ridgelines, coastal tracks and rainforest trails. Explore more actively with our guided hiking tours on Waiheke Island, in the Waitākere Ranges and on Northland’s Tutukaka Coast. Choose from tours with walking elements to multi-day hike options.

On Waiheke Island, the Bush & Beach Walk and the Double Headland Walk follow coastal tracks, headlands and bush trails, with up to 14 km on foot and a delicious lunch along the way. Both run as small-group or private walks.

For a bigger challenge, walk the 100 km Te Ara Hura circuit around the island over five days, or join the four-day Best of Waiheke Walking Tour, with the details taken care of.

Add a helicopter for the day of a lifetime: the Waiheke Heli Hike and the Tutukaka Heli Hike pair a scenic helicopter flight with a guided walk and lunch. Closer to the city, the Waitākere Explorer spends a day hiking the rainforest trails and beaches of the Waitākere Ranges.

Each tour lists its distance and difficulty, so you can choose the right hike for your group.
