The Gourmet Food
When preparing to hike through the pristine wilderness, it’s relatively normal to plan for meals of dehydrated potatoes with pasta in a packet and maybe some pre-cooked sausages to spice things up. Well… that is unless you are walking with Southern Wilderness, where we are obsessive “foodies” as well as outdoor guides. It’s fair to say that every guide we employ is dedicated to adding their own little bit of magic to each meal that they prepare for you. As a result, we have become well known as the ‘Gourmet Guided Walks’ company.
Over time, we have developed a menu to mark the memories of your walk with: maybe the Perry Saddle ‘Cafe’ where you enjoyed plunger coffee with Swiss-style bread coated in local Manuka honey, or perhaps Saxon ‘Spa’ where you sampled delicious local salmon with a glass of fantastic Marlborough sauvignon blanc. It’s experiences like these that have led our guests to pass on the good news that hiking New Zealand’s wilderness doesn’t mean having to miss out on the countries exceptional food and drink! We believe in using fresh foods for each meal and live by the belief that “if the stomach is happy the feet will follow”.
From a classy thai chicken curry, lamb backstraps, Italian basil and olive pasta to a selection of mouth watering cheeses, a walk on the Heaphy Track with Southern Wilderness NZ will introduce you to gastronomic delights to parallel the natural wonders!
