NZ's Private Walks, All In One Place
Private farmland, coastline and high country that few Kiwis ever see by day — a warm bed, hot shower and welcoming meal by night. This is a taste of a private walk experience.
Join us! Whether you are just starting out or a regular hiker, we welcome you to discover these walks, be inspired by our new book, and be guided by our free web/mobile app. Still wondering how a private walk is different from a public one? Then visit our FAQ page.
Our Book
We have begun our journey too! The contents of our new book are coming together, and we can't wait to share it with you this September 2026. It will inspire you, help you plan your walk, and also be your beautiful keepsake. We like to call it a travel companion, somewhere between a guide and a coffee-table book. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram and sign up to be notified just on the book release.

Our App
We have a web app and a mobile app for the private walks. The platform is entirely free, featuring over 1,000 pages of content and offering live tracking to help you find your way. Once downloaded, the app works offline and is your electronic companion guide.
The Walks
The collection of private walks is scattered around the country, and each is a unique offering. With such a variety of landscapes and comforts, we know your first will not be your last.

Our Work
We live for designing and building walking and mountain biking tracks. We have built tracks around the world and helped design the Paparoa Great Walk and several private walks in New Zealand. We love writing too. We have dozens of published articles from our track mapping trips, and we have now created our first book. We have great expertise in private walk track design too, so if you are considering starting a new private walk, please don't hesitate to contact us.
