personal walking tours

We offer a selection of walks in the region. Our walks are designed to showcase Marlborough’s stunning range of scenery and the walks are suitable for most people with a moderate level of fitness. We walk the valley floor through the vineyards or get a full view of the valley and the Richmond ranges from walking to the the top of Mt Vernon. We offer a full day guided walk through the vineyards sampling the local wines or half day walks up Mt Vernon or around the coastal loop walk at Whites Bay with stunning vistas of the Wairau Valley and Cloudy Bay. Suitable for most levels of fitness. 

Mt Vernonbook

We pick you up at 9.30am and drive you to the bottom of the Wither Hills farm park. We walk along the valley and up the zigzag track to the top of Mt Vernon. This walk provides stunning views of the Wairau Valley, the Richmond ranges and Cloudy Bay. Our guide will tell you about the interesting history and geography of the area. Near the summit we stop for a quick morning tea (weather dependent) and then walk down the ridgeline and back to the van. We drop you back to your accommodation between 12pm and 12.30pm.
This walk climbs to 420 metres. While the climb is gradual a moderate level of fitness is required. The walk back down the ridgeline is on grass and dirt track and in places can be steepish.

Price = $140 per person

 

Black Jack Track – Whites Baybook

We pick you up at 9.30am and drive out along the Wairau plains to the coast and across to Whites Bay. This sheltered little bay is a Department of Conservation reserve and is surrounded by native bush. The walk starts in the carpark and winds up a gently climbing track through native bush up onto the ridgeline and out onto the cliffs. From the cliff top the views are stunning down to Port Underwood and out across Cook Strait. We walk back down to the Bay where we have morning tea and a wander along the beach. We will have you back at your accommodation between12.30pm and 1pm.
