No question is too crazy. Our experienced travel experts are available to assist you with your dream holiday to New Zealand.
It is possible to hike the length of New Zealand. The Te Araroa Trail stretches 3000 kilometres from Cape Reinga (the tip of the North Island) to Bluff (the edge of the South Island). To complete the entire trail takes approximately 5 months but of course, it is possible to hike sections of the trail and it is split into 10 regions.
At TravelEssence, we specialise in crafting custom-made holidays that take you off the beaten path and create memories to last a lifetime. We believe in connecting with the heart and soul of a place, introducing you to the locals who call it home.
