WHY GO GOURMET GUIDED?
While anyone can walk on the Heaphy Track or in the Nelson Lakes by themselves, a gourmet guided walk option enables you to experience fantastic tracks with relative ease - without the heavy burden of carrying your own Gourmet food and equipment or the time consuming task of organising all the logistics of your tip; the transport, meal and safety planning. Let the guides bring your walking experience to life, their knowledge of the trail and how to create great meals means that all you have to do is relax and enjoy the experience. The Guides are all trained extensively in safety and risk management. Keeping you safe and sound is our number one priority, so come with us and know that you'll be safe, well fed and entertained for your holiday. You can even upgrade your trip with our custom package options!
TV AND GOURMET GUIDED WALKS
Do you remember when TV went from Black and White to Technicolor? Well a gourmet guided trip is very similar to that monumental shift of enjoyment. Where most people walk through a track with limited local knowledge on the plants, history, geology, and astronomy; our guides have spent considerable time studying a vast array of knowledge to pass on to you through interesting and fun stories. Don’t 
worry, our trips are not school trips, and there are no tests! Come with us and let our guides bring your adventure to life with a depth of knowledge that is refreshing, fun and informal.
Transport, safety management and catering are fully provided for the each of our packages with an emphasis on wholesome local foods, we put the Gourmet factor into your hike!
