Experience true NZ wilderness with an authentic North to South off-road adventure tour.

Over two weeks (13 days), we will journey from the deep south of New Zealand’s South Island, making our way north through some of the most remote and breathtaking landscapes the country has to offer. Starting in Arrowtown, we’ll venture through high mountain passes, glacier-fed rivers, vast open moorland, and private backcountry stations before concluding our adventure in the coastal town of Picton.
 
This trip offers an incredible mix of rugged terrain, historical gold-mining trails, and wild camping under the stars. Along the way, we’ll stop in small rural towns for supplies and the occasional night, but our main focus is immersing ourselves in the raw beauty of New Zealand’s wilderness. Our small convoy ensures a close-knit group of explorers ready to take on the overland adventure of a lifetime!
