Description

Situated in between the shores of Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea, the McKerrow Range offers some spectacular hiking opportunities!

After meeting up in Wanaka, we will take the helicopter up to our hiking base in the mountains. From here, we will head out on several different day-long adventures.

There is nothing quite like the spectacular views out over the lakes, mountains and fields that we will get each day. The hiking is not very difficult either and we will easily be able to reach various points throughout this range.

At night, we will return to the bio dome camp, where we can enjoy the amazing star-lit nights. Setting up camp so far from any major settlements means we will easily see the Milkyway.

Our certified guide will be with you every step of the way, showing you some of the best spots with the most sublime views as well as telling you a bit more bout how this beautiful place came to be.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for an incredible 2-day helicopter-assisted hiking adventure in the stunningly beautiful scenery around Wanaka on New Zealand’s South Island!

If you like the look of this trip then we think you will also enjoy our 4-day hiking trip through Gillespie Pass in the New Zealand’s Southern Alps!

Great trip to Gillespie Pass! The organisation was great, and in particular my guide Cameron was really professional and very well prepared, and we had a lot of fun on some spectacular hikes and chilling out afterwards at the excellent huts. An absolute highlight of my New Zealand trip!
