Walks and hikes in New Zealand

From fiords to volcanoes: every region has its own walking trails

New Zealand is a treasure trove of walking and hiking routes. In Fiordland, you’ll wander through lush, green rainforests and past tumbling waterfalls with views of its world-famous fiords. Further south, the Southern Alps offer rugged ridge lines, glacier-fed lakes, and mountain scenery that feels wonderfully remote.

Around Tongariro National Park, the whole setting shifts again: volcanic valleys, ancient lava fields, and rising steam vents create an otherworldly backdrop. Along the Coromandel Peninsula and the East Coast, you’ll find coastal paths overlooking clear, blue bays, while Abel Tasman National Park pairs golden beaches with peaceful forest trails.
