5-day Adventure in Paradise Trip

Active Adventures is a small company based in Queenstown, so we know our country really well and have been running and refining our trips around New Zealand for over 20 years! We take small groups (usually of around 7 - 10 people), off the beaten tourist track and right into the heart of the landscape, but without having to give up your creature comforts.

Our 5-day 'Koru' Adventure in Paradise trip starts and finishes in Queenstown, making it easy to explore the edge of both Fiordland and Mt Aspiring National Park without having to worry about any of the logistics.

Our incredible local guides will meet you in Queenstown and from here you'll begin your journey to Glenorchy. On the way, you'll hike the Mt Crichton Loop Track, which passes by a breathtaking waterfall and showcases stunning views across Lake Wakatipu - before arriving at Camp Glenorchy, New Zealand’s only net-zero energy luxury accommodation, which you'll call home for the next 4 nights.

The adventure keeps getting better from here as you'll have the opportunity to hike the Whakaari track, enjoy afternoon tea at Little Paradise, hike part of the famous Routeburn Track and even explore Lake Wakatipu via a kayak. There's also plenty of time to venture out further to hike Lake Sylvan and see for yourself the dramatic landscapes of the Lord of the Rings territory. 

How it works: The way it works is that we have 2 very experienced guides to look after each group (generally no more than 14 people, we like to keep our groups small), and the trip is fully guided to give us heaps of flexibility and peace of mind. Everyone is free to go at their own pace, so if you are keen for a challenge and want to really push yourself then you can certainly do that - alternatively, if you wake up one day feeling like you need to take things easy, well then that's fine too. Basically, it's your holiday so we'll always do our best to fit in with what you'd like to do!
