Some of the world's best
for every
ability offer us
health,
wellbeing and enjoyment.
KANES
encourage groups to take at least one group walk each day.
Glaciers
Encountering a huge glacier is among the world's most memorable experience.
Deep collapsing valleys
leas us to accessible and very different glaciers in
the Alpine Grandeur Zone and the
Scenic Glacier Zone. These
giants are gigantic when viewed nearby Huge varieties of rock types
indicate
the amazing forces and geographic processes.
Other
guided walks take you on to the glacier itself.
Rainforests
There are large numbers of rain forest walks in a wide number of locations for all
schedules and interests. A New Zealand experience is never complete without
experiencing the moderating climate and silence of the rainforest. They enable you to become familiar with many aspects of nature in a pleasant
environment. Many scenes from "The Lord of the Rings" showed these beautiful ancient
forests.
Volcanoes
Most volcano areas offer walks for closer experiences. The North
Island's recently erupted volcanoes offer an amazingly unique landscape
Here, as with recently glaciated areas, the re-vegetation process is
beginning with a fascinating collection of lichens.
Water Falls
Waterfalls are numerous due to high rainfall areas
with steep alpine landscape.
KANES usually include one
or more waterfall walks to experience the magnitude and power of falling water.
Overnight Walks
New Zealand's overnight walks offer the most magnificent
wilderness experiences. KANES are pleased to arrange
bookings, food, transport and equipment as necessary for guests. The choice of
trails are made in conjunction with the tour leader and take into account the skills,
experience and fitness of each of the group members. For safety reasons
KANES conduct a one day
advance walk to ensure the fitness and ability . These are always in
interesting and different locations. (Note: the most popular walks such as
the Milford Track must be booked well in
advance with non refundable payment).
Mountain Peaks
Mountains offer a challenge both of skill and endurance for
various levels of skills and experience. they access volcanoes, snow, alpine
vegetation, screes, and magnificent panoramic views.
Rivers
We find fun suspension bridges and deep, crystal-clear ponds
where trout temptingly bask.
Coasts
Some walks lead us along a sections of vegetation facing up to the violence of the
Roaring Forties. View points offer panoramas of
lands scared shattered and torn by ice sheets the
ever-moving tectonic plates.
Swamplands
Board-walks through the fairytale swamps of
the dinosaur rainforest inspire and provide study groups with more insights
into the biology of forest Podocarp rainforest plants.
Forests here have been untouched by man
or animal since the ice sheets left here 14,000 years ago.
Night walk in the rain forest
We confront our
fear of darkness and experience nature at night.
Because New Zealand forests have no dangerous creatures this is a good
chance help each other meet the challenge and enjoy the experience of New
Zealand's amazing
glow-worms.
