TRUST IN OUR TRAVEL EXPERTS

Immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes of Aotearoa with our dedicated team of local travel enthusiasts. With over 25 years of experience leading outdoor activity tours, we aim to ensure your trip exceeds all expectations.

Our tour guides are seasoned travel pros, trained in group dynamics, tour logistics, and creative problem-solving. They enjoy being an integral part of the group and are passionate about ensuring everyone’s travel dreams are realized.

By choosing our tour packages, you will receive exceptional value and gain access to a wealth of information and hidden treasures. We will lead you to extraordinary places that are off the typical tourist path, and provide you with an immersive experience of New Zealand like no other.

FOOD DELICIOUS FOOD

Through years of adventuring in New Zealand, we have perfected the art of preparing delicious food no matter where we are.

After a day of hiking, cycling or paddling through picturesque landscapes, there's nothing quite like gathering around a table with delicious home-cooked food, sipping a glass of your preferred beverage and having a good yarn.

Mealtimes on Sidetracks Women tours reflect our social spirit. We believe in the power of teamwork and camaraderie, so everyone lends a hand wherever help is needed. Whether it's setting the table or tidying up afterwards, we embrace the shared responsibility of creating a delightful dining experience.

WOMEN EMPOWERING WOMEN

At Sidetracks Women we specialize in women-only tours, ensuring you have a like-minded group of fellow travellers, and experienced women tour leaders who will assist you to make the most of your adventure.

Our small-group guided hiking and cycling trips, as well as our multi-activity tours, open the door to new experiences, allowing you to indulge in fresh adventures and discover new-found passions.

Women bond very quickly and tend to have a strong sense of community, friendship, and support. When we travel together, we immerse ourselves in a deep and intuitive way. Everyone feels safer taking on new challenges.

CARING FOR PEOPLE  AND NATURE

Everything we do revolves around the importance of people, nature, and the environment. Our main focus is keeping everyone safe and happy, and while doing so protecting our beautiful natural surroundings.

On our tours you can feel the connection between nature, body, mind, exercise and stress relief. You can learn how to make the most of your efforts with maximum enjoyment.
We love sharing our knowledge about Ebikes on our cycle tours, so even participants who haven’t tried them before feel safe and have fun.
 

We care about nature and always try to be mindful of our surroundings. We aim to minimise impact and maximise connection.

COMFORT AND CHARM

When it comes to our accommodations, comfort and charm take centre stage. Picture yourself in amazing locations, surrounded by breathtaking views of stunning New Zealand landscapes.

And it's not only the scenery—it’s the small, quirky details and the unforgettable company which make our stays truly special. We carefully select comfortable and unique places that feel like a home away from home.

Leave behind the worries of a heavy backpack as you embark on a multi-day hike or bike ride - all you need during our outdoor activities is what you can fit in a lightweight daypack. We take care of the rest, so you can enjoy your adventure to the fullest.

SOLO ADVENTURES WITH A TEAM

Want to explore more of the outdoors, but just can’t find the right person to pursue your travel dreams with? On our tours you’ll have buddies to share the experience with, and someone’s always around to take your photo.

You will be traveling with friends you just haven’t had the pleasure of meeting … yet. Countless Sidetracks Women who connected during our tours have stayed in touch and even planned future adventures together.

We love to see you back on another tour! And if you bring a friend along, you will BOTH get a $50 Friendship Discount on your next tour booking.

WHY CHOOSE SIDETRACKS WOMEN

  WHAT THEY'RE SAYING... 

West Coast Special Multi Activity Tour

"I came away feeling my cup was overflowing. There were so many places just to 'be' in nature. Angelika, you were so knowledgeable and caring, catering for any limitations. The group was fab - and full of their own stories. And then there was the food! It allowed me an experience with a great group of women without all the organising, driving and planning food - just time to soak it all in.”
