Welcome to Discovery Tours

Discovery Tours New Zealand, Mount Cook Regions only Private Guiding and Boutique Adventure Hikes, Walks and Heli-Hikes Company.

At Discovery Tours New Zealand, we conduct a Private Guiding service which is suitable for anyone interested in joining the Mt Cook Regions most experinced and knoweldgable guides for walks, hikes and heli-hikes. We do offer set time and priced adventure day hikes for those who like to plan ahead and maybe traveling alone so would like to meet others of like mind on one of our informative and relaxed hikes. Through our sister comapny http://www.helibike.com we can also arrange fun guided helibike rides, conservation mountain bike rides and bike hire.

We specalise in guiding small groups where you hire the guide for the time you need, to take you on the type of hike you seek, while learning all about the Mount Cook Region. We can offer some activities for larger groups along with some great trips for education and special interest parties. 

In general we like to stay away from the crowds off the main public trails unless we are guiding larger groups, this gives our guides the ability to tailor walks and hikes to all fitness levels, abilities and time tables. In our website is a general range of possible trips, so if you don't see what you want, please contact us to arrange a Private Guide and we will design something especially for you.

If you want to explore the best of the Mount Cook Region of New Zealand, our knowledgeable and experienced local guides will ensure you have a day to remember.
