Grand Tour of New Zealand
This trek in New Zealand offers a breathtaking itinerary. Hiking in this country feels like the most natural thing in the world! The locals even coined a new word for it: "tramping". This archipelago is made up of two islands and remains isolated from the rest of the world. The North Island and the South Island have very different landscapes. New Zealand stretches over 1,600 km!
One of our trekking ideas in Oceania invites you to discover iconic locations and wild nature. Volcanic hills and the Pacific Ocean are just some of the wonders you'll take in across the Auckland landscape. Several natural sites will dazzle you with their unique beauty! You'll trek through national parks such as Tongariro, with its spectacular volcanic masses. This trek gives you a degree of freedom in how you organise it — from choosing your accommodation to setting your own pace. You'll be guided not by a local guide, but by maps and trail notes.
Aotearoa
New Zealand has its own Māori name! Aotearoa is most often translated as "the land of the long white cloud". This trek in Oceania will take you to explore numerous national parks and wonderful natural sites. You'll be awed by volcanoes such as Mount Eden. You'll venture deep into the dense forests of the Coromandel Peninsula. And you'll be surprised to discover "the city that sits on a cauldron" in Rotorua. Volcanoes, sheep-covered hills, and the sweeping plains of Tongariro National Park will all be part of your journey.
This route gives you the chance to observe fur seal colonies at Cape Foulwind — and that's just a taste of the wonderful encounters and sightings you'll experience on your trek. Ready to explore the land of the Māori and immerse yourself in vast, wild open spaces? This hiking adventure is an opportunity not to be missed!
Volcanoes of Oceania
One of our trekking ideas in Oceania invites you to discover raw wilderness as well as traditional cultures. You'll travel across the three main islands of the Vanuatu archipelago, in the heart of the Pacific Ocean. The most active volcanoes in this archipelago will hold no more secrets for you. You'll climb Marum volcano, trekking through magnificent tropical forests to reach the observation point overlooking its permanent lava lake. The spectacle will leave you speechless!!
The ascent of a second volcano, Benbow, is also on the programme. Immerse yourself in the traditions and customs of the local people. You'll have the privilege of being introduced to surprising local customs.

This destination is as intriguing as it is fascinating — you won't regret it!
In Papuan Territory
A land of constant contrasts, wild beauty, and countless legends. Here is one of the treks in Oceania that offers a truly unique journey. This country of "a thousand cultures" is home to over 800 languages. You'll take part in a traditional Papuan meal, then witness dances as impressive as they are varied. This trek takes you into two completely different worlds: the tropical rainforest and the central highlands. You'll be struck by the wildlife — in particular the many bird species, including the endemic birds of Papua. On the programme: encounters with a diversity of ethnic groups, walks on the sand, and pirogue trips. You'll complete multi-day walks in full autonomy. A one-of-a-kind trek that offers an adventure in the land of the unexpected — a land overlooked for far too long.
