EXPERTS IN NEW ZEALAND
We have been guiding hiking and cycling tours in our own backyard, stunning South Island of New Zealand, for over 25 years. We know all the tricks to make your trip the best one it can be.
FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD
Through years of organising and adventuring in the South Island of New Zealand, we have perfected the art of preparing delicious food no matter where we are. Whether we find ourselves overnighting in a musterer's hut deep in the high country or staying in a stunning bach overlooking the ocean, we guarantee you will want for nothing. World’s best pancakes anyone?
SOLO ADVENTURES WITH A TEAM
Wanting to try out a guided hiking or cycling tour, but have no one to do it with? At Sidetracks Women we offer women only tours and support you with a ready-made, all-female group and an experienced female tour leader to help you make the most of your adventure. Your only limit is your fitness, not your age and we can help you with your fitness!
WHERE'S THE FINEPRINT...
Rest assured we don’t do fineprint, hidden costs or extra entry fees, restaurant bills, tickets etc. All the prices of our guided hiking and cycling tours are all-inclusive, so what you pay for your trip is all you pay for your trip - no surprise expenses.
COMFORT AND CHARM
Our accommodation is all about comfort and charm. It’s about amazing South Island locations and breathtaking views of our beautiful New Zealand. It's about quirky details and unforgettable company. We prefer to stay in carefully chosen and comfortable places.
And don't worry about a heavy backpack on the adventure of a multi-day hike! You only need to carry a daypack.
WE CARE
about people, nature, the environment. You will find this at the core of everything we do.
