If you’re looking for a classic multi-day hiking experience in New Zealand, these point-to-point walks are a great choice. You'll walk from one memorable location to the next, following well-marked trails through some of the country's most striking coastal and forest landscapes—with the bonus of luggage transfers and comfortable stays each night.

The  Abel Tasman Track is one of New Zealand’s official Great Walks and a true crowd-pleaser, with golden beaches, lush coastal forest, and sparkling coves. For something a little more varied, the Queen Charlotte Track offers a rewarding mix of history, panoramic ridge walks, and ever-changing views across the Marlborough Sounds. Each track has the option for standard or upgraded accommodations with our In Comfort trips, allowing you to choice the lodging right for you. 

These hikes are shorter than some of New Zealand’s more rugged alpine treks, making them ideal as a standalone adventure or as part of a longer trip. Not sure which route is right for you? No problem. Our Best of New Zealand Drive & Hike itinerary lets you experience parts of the Abel Tasman, Queen Charlotte, Routeburn, and more—all in one unforgettable trip.
