Kahurangi Guided Walks

Abel Tasman National Park

Guided walks to the magnificent Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks

Kahurangi Guided Walks has been showing people the special places of the Kahurangi and Abel Tasman National Parks since 1997.

We are licensed (Concession No CSN 260) by the New Zealand Department of Conservation to conduct guided walks having met their high environmental and safety standards. All care is taken to respect New Zealand's unique wildlife and to minimise our environmental impact.

Kahurangi Guided Walks is owned by John Croxford and operated from my home in Takaka, Golden Bay.

John came to New Zealand from Liverpool England in the early 1960's, and has been tramping (trekking) in many places in New Zealand since then. He has developed a wide knowledge of the plants, birds, geology, and geography of New Zealand and specialised in the Maori and European history of the area. He has been a member of the local Search and Rescue organization for many years and has a wide experience of bushcraft.

We only employ local guides and porters, people who know the area, and history and who can relate local stories as well as being knowledgeable about the natural history of plants and birds, they are familiar with local weather patterns.

Most of our trips are with smaller numbers of people. Our maximum allowable group size is 12 including guide and porter, which is not very often, and most groups are smaller than that. We will take a trip with a minimum of 2 people, and for a special premium, one person.

Our commitment is to give you the best possible experience in complete safety.
