Hire Your Own Mountain Guide

A private guided hiking tour is a handcrafted adventure, meticulously tailored and built around the needs and desires of your group. You’ll have your own personal hiking guide, a purveyor of fun and an expert in the culture and terrain of the most spectacular places on the planet. Enjoy the freedom to pick your own dates. Customize any itinerary or build your own from scratch. In short, a private guided hike offers a flexible itinerary that changes as you do. We can amend each day’s schedule if the weather turns bad or if your group members want a fresh alternative to hiking. From summer skiing and peak bagging, to sightseeing and tandem flying, we offer “rest” days that your group members will remember forever.

Please peruse some of our most popular suggestions below. We can offer any tour as a private excursion so please inquire about trips not listed here.

What Our Guests Say:

“Ross and I are back in NZ now after a wonderful holiday. I just wanted to email and say how truly fabulous Ken is! He was a superb guide in every way – innovative, imaginative, thoughtful – nothing was too much trouble.

We’ll look forward to booking another hike with Ryder Walker and please, could we request Ken!”

Josephine GreenNew Zealand
“Staying in 3 lovely hotels in 3 different locations afforded us interesting bases for challenging, spectacularly scenic daily hikes without having to pack up every morning. Kenny adapted our hikes to our enthusiasm and so, we always put in full days! We were worn out every day. Then it was time to relax in the spa.”
