Mindful Guided Hike in Nature Nelson Lakes

Mindful Guided Walks & Hikes

Its the journey that counts! Revive, Relax, Restore, Explore.

Our mindful guided walks for beginners or easy paced hikes for the more ambitious are designed for travellers who appreciate nature and are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle. Our experienced driver/guides are passionate about the outdoors and have guided international visitors on stunning trails across New Zealand. Track locations are within a 1.5 -2.5 hour drive from your accommodation in Nelson, Blenheim, or St Arnaud. We can usually customise the walk or hike to fit your schedule, but please allow a minimum of 8 hours including travel time. Occasionally, we can pick you up in Nelson and drop you off in Blenheim, or vice versa. If you need accommodation that connects you with nature and rejuvenation, we suggest Maruia River Retreat or Rotoiti Retreat. We are here to help you with your booking.

Upon arrival, your driver/guide will assist you with logistics and guidance, but you set your own pace. We allow for breaks and an extended lunch in a peaceful spot, with healthy options and snacks provided along the way.

All our driver /guides are qualified and experienced mature women……. because we care!
