CHOOSE YOUR CHARITY! Open Challenges are open to anyone wanting to raise money for any charity, whether it’s a large national organisation or your local hospice or appeal.
New Zealand is a country famed for its unspoilt natural scenery. Our challenging trek takes us to the renowned Abel Tasman National Park on the northern tip of the South Island.
Our route follows the coast along isolated golden beaches, fjord-like inlets and coastal hills thick with native rainforest; the scenery is beautiful. We then move inland, trekking among mountains and lakes before transferring to the East Coast, where a fabulous mountain day-trek offers a panoramic view of the beautiful coastline.
