Wanaka Alpine

OUR MOST ADVENTUROUS RETREAT YET.

For seven unforgettable days, you’ll trade the noise of everyday life for mountain air, meaningful conversation and experiences few people ever have the opportunity to share.

Spend part of your journey deep in New Zealand’s alpine wilderness, staying in remote mountain huts accessible only on foot, before returning to the comfort of a luxury Wanaka home to recover, reconnect and prepare for the next adventure.

This is a retreat built on contrast.

Adventure and recovery.

Challenge and comfort.

Stillness and exhilaration.

Alongside world-class hiking, expect mountain biking, breathwork, sauna, lake experiences, wholesome food and the Adventure 365 community you’ve come to know and love.

If you’ve ever wondered what you’re capable of, this is your opportunity to find out.

  • Mountain Huts

    Gentle sessions to stretch, breathe, and reconnect. Whether it’s mobility after a hike or a moment to slow down, this is about tuning in—not twisting yourself into a pretzel.

  • Luxuray Accom

    Gentle sessions to stretch, breathe, and reconnect. Whether it’s mobility after a hike or a moment to slow down, this is about tuning in—not twisting yourself into a pretzel.

  • Sauna

    Alpine zip line center offering downhill rides of over 800 meters at speeds of up to 84 km/hr.

  • Lake Experiences

    Ride up the mountain in a gondola, then race your mates down on a luge track. It’s fast, fun, and surprisingly addictive. Big views, good energy, and zero pressure.

  • Yoga & Movement

    Gentle sessions to stretch, breathe, and reconnect. Whether it’s mobility after a hike or a moment to slow down, this is about tuning in—not twisting yourself into a pretzel.

  • Cold Water

    It’s cold. It’s bold. And you’ll love it. Cold water dips wake you up fast, build resilience, and leave you buzzing. It’s a challenge—but one of the most rewarding parts of the week.

  • Wholesome Food

    Early starts, big payoffs. Our hikes take you high above Queenstown before the world wakes up. Legs moving, breath steady, views that make you pause. It’s the perfect way to kick off your day—with movement, perspective, and a crew beside you.

  • Breath Work

    Post-adventure recovery done right. Outdoor saunas help you wind down, warm up, and soak it all in. Sweat, silence, and time to process the day with the crew.

  • Mountain Biking

    Time to slow it down. Sip some of Central Otago’s best wines with vineyard views and great company. A relaxed afternoon that brings the group together in a different way.

This Is Not Your Typical Retreat

This expedition has been designed for people seeking more than a holiday.

You’ll spend several nights immersed in New Zealand’s backcountry, carrying only what you need, sleeping in remote mountain huts and experiencing life at a slower pace.


Long days on your feet, changing weather and untouched landscapes create an environment where conversations deepen, distractions disappear and confidence grows.


Back in Wanaka, you’ll enjoy premium accommodation, nourishing meals, recovery sessions and unforgettable local experiences that balance challenge with restoration.


It is this contrast that makes the journey so powerful.


You’ll return home with incredible memories, lifelong friendships and a renewed belief in what you’re capable of.

WHY THIS RETREAT IS DIFFERENT

Most retreats promise relaxation.

This expedition promises perspective.

Rather than escaping life, you’ll step into an environment that demands your attention.

No constant notifications.

No endless scrolling.

No distractions.

Just mountains.

Movement.

Conversation.

Challenge.

Community.

The wilderness has a remarkable ability to simplify what truly matters.

By the end of the week, you’ll have discovered places few people ever experience—and perhaps discovered something about yourself along the way.
