Kia Ora!! Welcome to NzHikes.
Kia Ora, Namaste, Hello!
Welcome to the home of a New Zealander who loves hiking / trekking / tramping / anything to do with the outdoors!
I was once a keen hiker, explorer, mountaineer who climbed high in to the hills of Aotearoa New Zealand and other stunning locations around the world as often as possible. However, thanks to a nasty hip and back accident at sea I now go on slightly different adventures…
This website is dedicated to the memory of Ernest D Wilson (Ernie Dog), the little dog with a big heart – 1.10.22 to 4.11.23.
During this little legends short time on earth we together tackled both day trips & overnight tramps. Now his Stepsister Georgie follows in his footsteps into the hills. There are missions for both human and dog found on this page!
Active Hearts Foundation…
Nz Hikes has been involved with the awesome people at the Active Hearts Foundation since 2015. Starting with a post earthquake expedition into the remote foothills of the Himalaya, we have been on all sorts of adventures with the aim of helping as many children as possible. Now nearly ten years later Nz Hikes have become ambassadors for the foundation, and along with fundraising we head over to Nepal with the Hearts Team every year. To find out more CLICK HERE …
