DAY 1: Heli Hike Including ‘The Kepler Track’ Highlights

Departure is at 9:30 am from your Te Anau accommodation returning approximately 4:00 pm. We offer some flexibility on times if conditions allow.
Your adventure begins with an amazing helicopter flight. This is an extended flight – meaning it goes above and beyond just transport. We fly over the largest lake in the South Island; Lake Te Anau, before flying over a group of “hidden lakes” that can only be seen from the air.
Our first landing is a 10-minute stop on Mt Maury. At 100 meters above the Kepler Track itself, the views here are breathtaking and all-encompassing. A photo opportunity not to be missed.
Next, we land at the Luxmore Hut and here you begin your hike through some of The Kepler Track’s most pristine alpine landscapes whilst our knowledgeable guide provides you with good humour and expertise on local geology, flora and fauna.
On returning to Luxmore Hut you get to spend some quality time with the view while enjoying a morning tea of our famous date scones with tea, coffee and biscuits.
From here, you have an optional hike to the top of Mt Luxmore before starting the easy trek down to the shores of the lake.
As you descend from the alpine heights the walk transitions into stunning native vegetation including beech trees, ferns and the sights and sounds of New Zealand’s diverse birdlife.
A boat awaits you for our short return cruise across Lake Te Anau to the Township.

RIMU PACKAGE: 3-DAY HIKE OPTION

If you’re looking for a multi-day hike with lakes and river views plus the thrill of a jetboat adventure, then check out our RIMU PACKAGE. The Rimu Package also includes The Kelper, Routeburn and Hollyford Tracks.

DAY 2: Key Summit on ‘The Routeburn Track’

Departure is 8:30 am from your Te Anau accommodation returning at approximately 4:30 pm. We offer some flexibility on times, conditions dependent.
Our comfortable van takes you on a journey along the world-famous Milford Road on the way to the main divide that separates the Eglinton Valley and the Hollyford Valley.
Here, we take you on a walk, at a leisurely pace, through some amazing bush in a meandering, well-formed track that requires a slight to medium fitness level.
Beyond the bush line we experience some unique alpine vegetation as we zig-zag at a consistent gradient on our way to Key Summit.
At the summit, you will experience stunning panoramic views of alpine lakes in several glacier-carved valleys, and views of some of Fiordland’s highest mountains.
To follow up the views we take a short walk down to Lake Howden before returning to “The Divide”.
Morning tea and lunch will be provided during the trip.

On return to the van, we travel to the end of the Hollyford Road, where you will get a taste of the first part of the Hollyford Track followed by a walk up to the Humboldt Falls which have an incredible continuous 175-meter drop to the valley floor.
Your journey continues through to Milford Sound where we meet up with the boutique boat for a two-hour nature cruise. Onboard you will get to enjoy complimentary tea or coffee and a wonderful packed lunch while taking in the majestic sights of the “8th wonder of the world”. Towering mountains, intriguing wildlife and spectacular waterfalls.
