Our favourite hikes have been the epic Tongariro crossing and our heli hike on the Fox Glacier. Having said that some of the shorter tramps we’ve done in the Queenstown Lakes region were also superb. There’s just so many great trails to choose from!

I had no idea it was so humid in NZ. Who would have thought? Also, the island has no spiders, snakes or scorpions? Really? Sounds like paradise. Based on your photographs, it sure looks like it!!

I would think that New Zealand would be a trekking destination! I would definitely hike around New Zealand if I had the opportunity! And when I go there someday, I will be looking into the hiking!

Hoping to do more next time we go – I’ve been reading about the Routeburn (close to the Milford Track but less crowded and less strenuous) and am very tempted by it.

Do you have any posts hiking related you could share with us? I walked also a part of famous Kepler Track in Fiordland and it was way much easier, although humid.

But, as you say, rewarding. And I agree that you need to be well prepared, although I think you can probably find some ‘easier’ tracks in NZ. We did a little bit (very small amount) of the Abel Tasman path which was both spectacular and fairly easy.
