GirlsTrek’s Walking & Wine in New Zealand
New Zealand Walking and Wine | GrilsTrek
Embracing the Journey
Stepping off the plane in Queenstown feels like coming home to the wild, and to yourself. As the air catches your lungs and the sparkle of the Southern Alps greets you, it’s as if the world pauses, inviting you to slow down, breathe deep, and journey inward. This is a GirlsTrek experience at its finest.
“This isn’t just trekking - it’s transformation”.
For seven days and six nights, the Tuatapere Hump Ridge trail becomes more than a path, it’s a powerful thread weaving together sea-swept ridges, moss-draped forests, and the company of women who know what it means to crave both wildness and connection. Each step carries meaning: through remote forests, across ridgelines where whispers of the wind feel like ancient stories, and into nights lit with laughter beside warm beds and shared memories.
Imagine starting your mornings with e-bike explorations in Arrowtown, a gentle wake-up for both body and spirit. By day three, you’re hiking 20 km across the ridge. where sea, sky, and trail converge in a moment that leaves you breathless in more ways than one.
Luxury isn’t spoiled - it’s intentional.
Even at the edge of the wild, you're greeted with comfort: boutique hotels in Queenstown, cozy mountain lodges, hot showers, and beds that ease the miles away. These are not just perks - they’re a loving nod to your courage, reminding you that you deeply deserve each moment of rest.
And those celebratory moments? A winery visit in Central Otago, glasses raised high, hearts lighter, laughter richer. In these toasts, you’re not just celebrating a hike—you’re celebrating resilience, sisterhood, and the joy of shared accomplishment.
This is what GirlsTrek is made of:
Connection. With every step, you're walking not just through landscapes, but through stories, emotions, fears, and triumphs shared among kindred women. Bonds form when indifference falls away under the rhythm of footsteps and the openness of wild terrain.
Empowerment through challenge. These treks are rated Level 4: long distances, rough terrain, steep climbs, requiring fitness, grit, and courage - yet made accessible with a guide, training, and unwavering encouragement.
Mindful immersion. GirlsTrek honors place and people, working with local, family-run businesses, supporting communities, and treating every ecosystem with respect. It’s travel that gives back.
Joy and indulgence. From slow lunches at artisan wineries to that celebratory champagne - joy pervades each - day. These pleasures are not indulgences-they're a celebration of being alive, present, and worthy.
Growth, one step at a time. Every trek is more than a physical journey—it’s an emotional one. You step forward not only in distance but in clarity, in awareness, in the beauty of your vulnerability and strength..
In each sunrise and summit, in each shared meal and laughter echoing in the lodge, this trip unfolds the heart of GirlsTrek: a wild, tender tapestry woven by brave women.
To join is to choose yourself, your stories, your strength, your joy. You aren’t just walking a trail; you’re carrying forward new stories, new friendships, and a renewed sense of wonder.
Here’s to the wild, the wine, and the women who walk it all - with open hearts, full bellies, and the horizon in sight.
