WALKING LEGENDS

Hiking trails in New Zealand are generally accessible and easy to follow, especially the Great Walks. But if you're a first-time hiker, it can be a little intimidating to set off for several days! If you've got the budget, agencies like Walking Legends offer guided excursions, particularly around Lake Waikaremoana (the agency also covers other areas on the North Island: Coromandel, Tongariro, Great barrier island). Eco-responsible, Walking Legends is committed to being carbon neutral by 2025.
