The Grand Traverse
The Grand Traverse starts on the shores of Lake Wakitipu and stretches the length of the Greenstone and Routeburn Valleys, crossing the main divide twice in the process. The Greenstone and Routeburn Tracks have long been New Zealand's most accessible and popular routes into the spectacular South Island high country.
The Grand Traverse passes through two national parks: Fiordland and Mount Aspiring, and is part of Te Wahipounamu, South West New Zealand World Heritage Area. The pristine bush is home to a myriad of native birdlife: the Robin; Kea; Fantail; Parakeet; Bellbird; and Yellowhead, just to name a few. The sheer isolation and raw beauty of the Greenstone provide the perfect stage for the breathtaking scenery of the Routeburn. An unsurpassable combination to make a memorable walking experience.
The Grand Traverse is a 6 day / 5 night Queenstown to Queenstown all-inclusive guided walk in New Zealand's South Island high country. The package includes all transport, accommodation, meals, snacks, celebration dinner, backpacks and rain jackets. Accommodation is in our fully serviced lodges and you will be led by our expert guides.
Sometimes it's hard to fit in everything on your holiday wish list. So our 'Encounter' guided day walks have been designed for people with limited time.
All you need is walking boots or sturdy shoes, a bottle of water, warm clothing and your camera, and we'll provide the rest, including experienced guides, door-to-door transport, scrumptious food, free use of day packs and rain jackets. Come and experience the magic of the Milford and Routeburn Tracks and be back in your hotel the same evening.
