There's a particular kind of excitement that arrives when we release new season hiking dates! Our team has been busy reviewing itineraries, planning menus, and dreaming ahead to 1 October 2026 - so we can continue sharing this extraordinary corner of New Zealand with people who are ready to slow down and truly take it in.
We're thrilled to announce that our 2026/2027 public departure dates are now live, and spots are already moving.
What's on offer next season
Next season we're running public departures across three of our most beloved tours, each one designed to immerse you in the wild beauty of the Coromandel Peninsula — with a few very good meals along the way.
Our 7 Day Signature Coastal Charm is the full experience. Seven days of walking through ancient Kauri groves, along rugged coastlines, and through landscapes that genuinely take your breath away. There's a reason this tour has become the one our guests talk about for years afterwards. It's not just a holiday, it's the kind of trip that quietly changes how you see the world.
For those who are curious but not quite ready to commit to a week away, our 3 Day Coastal Charm Taster is the perfect starting point. Three days, gentle walking grades, exceptional food, and more than enough magic to leave you wondering why you waited so long. Many of our most loyal guests started right here.
And then there's our Coromandel Coastal Luxe — for those who want all of the nature and all of the luxury. Think private accommodation, elevated dining, and the same stunning landscapes, just with a few extra comforts tucked in. If you've ever wanted to hike with a glass of something cold waiting at the end of the trail, this one's for you.
Why book early?
Our tours are intentionally small, never more than eight guests, and that's not something we're ever going to change. It's what makes the experience feel personal rather than packaged. It means your guide actually knows your name, your pace, and whether you take milk in your coffee. It means the group around the dinner table feels like friends by day two.
It also means spots go quickly, especially for the shoulder season departures when the Coromandel is at its most spectacular, warm enough to swim, quiet enough to feel like it's all yours.

This is going to be a wonderful season. We hope to share some of it with you.
