New Zealand: What to See & Do: Day Trips: Kaikoura Wilderness Walks

Kaikoura Wilderness Walks

The South Island’s Kaikoura Wilderness Walkway crosses a mountain range of dramatic scenery and rare wildlife but what makes this truly special is the Puhi Peaks, the highest privately owned property in the country. Shearwater Lodge sits on protected reserve but you can chopper up for hiking and then a glorious lunch or spend the night. The lodge can also be taken over for an unforgettable private event.
