Why Choose Traverse?
We know there are plenty of ways to see New Zealand - but there's nothing quite like discovering it on foot, with a small crew and your trail shoes on.
Unique Stays
Every lodge, hut, and high-country stop has been chosen for its character, charm, and connection to the land giving us access to private stations and hidden tracks.
Community over Competition
This isn't a race. Our focus is on small groups, shared experiences, slow miles, and the joy of running together.
Zero Logistics Stress
You show up, and we take it from there - meals, routes, gear transfers (if needed), and everything in between.
Just the Right Amount of Wild
Expect river crossings, rolling hills, backcountry huts, and views that stop you mid-stride.
