Seven nights. Eight days. A journey from comfort into challenge, with time to recover, connect and take it all in.
01 / ARRIVE & CONNECT
Begin at Wānaka Haven
Settle into an exclusive-use lodge overlooking the Southern Alps. Fireplace lounges, a heated pool and hot tub create space to unwind, while chef-prepared meals, hiking, sauna and a private boat experience with an island picnic bring the group together.
02 / INTO THE WILDERNESS
Leave the everyday behind
Carry what you need into the mountains for three nights in remote huts reached only on foot. Simple meals, shared spaces and immense alpine landscapes replace everyday comforts. The challenge is real, and so is the connection with the people beside you.
03 / RETURN & CELEBRATE
Finish together in Queenstown
Emerge from the wilderness and settle into Novotel Queenstown for your final night. A celebratory dinner out brings the group back together to reflect on the mountains, the moments and what you discovered along the way.
The places, people and preparation that make the expedition.
Stay & recover
Exclusive use of Wānaka Haven, with eight bedrooms and seven ensuites. Fireplace lounges, a heated swimming pool, hot tub and sauna experiences create room to reset.
Food & connection
Chef-prepared meals at the lodge, a private boat experience with an island picnic, and time to enjoy the company around you.
Go beyond the road
Multi-day alpine hiking and three nights in remote mountain huts. Simple mountain living, shared meals and wilderness accessible only on foot.

This is our most adventurous retreat yet. You don’t need to be an experienced mountaineer, but a strong level of fitness, a willingness to prepare and an open mind are essential.
01
Consecutive mountain days
Be ready to hike through demanding alpine terrain on consecutive days while carrying your own pack. This is an active expedition, not a relaxed sightseeing retreat.
02
Comfort with less comfort
Expect basic mountain huts, simple meals and shared spaces. You’ll spend several days away from everyday conveniences and need to be willing to embrace the discomfort.
03
A commitment to prepare
The journey starts before departure. Engage with the structured preparation process so you arrive ready to take on the challenge and contribute to the group experience.
Places are strictly limited. Participation is subject to an application and suitability process.
