{ "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What type of hiking tours do you offer?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "We offer guided, pack-free multi-day walking tours across New Zealand's Coromandel and Waikato regions, from 3 to 7 days. Each day includes a 2–8 hour hike paired with a local food or wine tasting, and everything is all-inclusive — meals, wine, accommodation, Auckland/Hamilton transfers, and track fees." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Where in New Zealand do you operate?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "We operate mainly in the Coromandel, with private custom tours also available in the Waikato and Waitomo. We're locals and specialise in the North Island — we don't currently run tours in the South Island." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Who are your tours best suited to?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Our tours suit couples and friends travelling together, solo travellers, and first-time-to-New-Zealand visitors with a moderate fitness level. We welcome both first-time hikers and experienced trampers, as long as the fitness requirements are met." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How fit do I need to be?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "At minimum, you'll need to walk 5–8 hours a day, up to 17km, carrying a small 3–5kg backpack. Grading varies by tour and by day, so check the specific grading on each tour page." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you cater for solo travellers?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — solo travellers are welcome on every tour. Since pricing is based on twin/double share, a single supplement applies if you'd like your own room." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can my children come on a Nature & Nosh tour?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Children under 16 generally aren't included on our set-departure tours, due to the length and difficulty of the walks. Custom or private family tours can be arranged if your child can comfortably walk 4–5km unassisted." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How do I know I'll be safe?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "All guides are experienced in New Zealand terrain and hold first aid qualifications. We're DOC-approved to operate in public conservation areas under audited safety standards, and we hold a Qualmark Gold award for quality and safety." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you offer hut-to-hut hiking?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No — you'll stay in comfortable lodges, guesthouses, or B&Bs for a minimum of two nights per stop, with short drives between the start of each day's track and between lodges." } } ] }
