Hiking is now the most popular outdoor activity tracked by the Outdoor Industry Association, with approximately 63.4 million participants in 2024 — a gain of around 5 million from the previous year. Fresh Adventures notes that its New Zealand tour is designed to address that growing demand directly, with dietary accommodations built into the program so food restrictions are no longer a barrier to guided wilderness travel.
"The tour's breakfast program covers all 12 mornings of the itinerary and is built to accommodate the full range of common dietary needs, including gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan," a Fresh Adventures spokesperson said. "For travelers who have historically had to plan around food limitations on guided tours, this removes a significant logistical concern before departure."
Beyond breakfast, evenings are spent dining out as a group at local restaurants across the South Island, from the lakeside town of Wanaka to the adventure hub of Queenstown, giving travelers flexibility to continue managing their dietary needs in a social setting.
The team highlights that the 13-day itinerary departs from Christchurch and covers Queenstown, Wanaka, and Milford Sound. Hiking highlights include trails to the base of Mount Cook, walks through ancient rainforest canopies, a cruise through Milford Sound, and evenings soaking in natural hot springs beneath open skies. Accommodation spans hotels, cabins, and lodges, with activity levels suited to active adults looking for full days on the trail.
According to the company spokesperson, the tour is built around small-group travel, with all departures guaranteed to run. Groups average nine people, with the itinerary structured to work equally well for solo travelers, who pay no single supplement at any point.
A $200 deposit secures a place, with free cancellation available up to 60 days before departure and a lifetime deposit policy allowing penalty-free rescheduling.
