Trip Overview:

• Your hosts have maps and track notes to help plan each day to suit you. Ideal for groups of different ages and abilities who want to be independent with the security of boat back-up if required.  
• Most of the trips start with a scenic cruise to Totaranui, then travel south. To give you more choice of departure days, some trips travel north and start with walking from Marahau and a scenic cruise on the final day.

Accommodation:

• We welcome you with much more than a room for the night. There are no roads in the national park, so let us help you design the ideal journey into this spectacular wilderness.
