Routeburn Walk

The Routeburn Track passes through two national parks, Fiordland and Mount Aspiring, and is part of Te Wahipounamu, South West New Zealand World Heritage Area. The area is a haven for native birdlife: the Robin; Fantail; Parakeet; Bellbird; Yellowhead and watch out for the resident Kea at Routeburn Falls! The variety of landscapes will astound you: mountainous peaks; sheer rock faces; alpine basins; pristine lakes; cascading waterfalls; luxuriant forest; turqoise rivers and million dollar views around every corner. The Routeburn Track Guided Walk is a 3 day / 2 night Queenstown to Queenstown all-inclusive guided walk traversing New Zealand's Southern Alps. The package includes all transport, accommodation, meals, snacks, backpacks and rain jackets. Accommodation is in our luxury lodges and you will be led by our expert guides.

You will pass through river flats and forested valleys rich in bird life, and climb to alpine passes that can see snow, even in high summer. Spectacular mountain views, gushing waterfalls and pristine lakes are a further attraction of this popular trek, which passes through both Fiordland and Mount Aspiring National Parks.

The three day trip includes transportation to the start and from the end of the trail, from Queenstown, which is easily accessed from other parts of New Zealand, by coach and air.

You must attend a trek briefing in Queenstown held on the evening before departure. Once you have booked the trek, we will send you a list of suggested clothing and equipment. A rucksack and raincoat can be provided free of charge if you need them.
