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 on our site, 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! Our new book is ready to inspire you and be your beautiful keepsake. It's a travel companion, somewhere between a guide and a coffee-table book. Purchase one for yourself, or as a gift for your fellow walking buddies.
Our App
We have a web app and a mobile app to guide you along 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
Discover the collection of private walks 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.
