With a lifetime of physically tasking experiences in New Zealand’s diverse wilderness areas, Mark Everard has earned the reputation as one of the country’s best outdoor guides. An accomplished athlete, Everard tests his skills both in organized sports and in the wild, including mountain climbing, marathon running, white-water rafting and cross-country quad biking.
Fish for trout at Lake Tarawera and take a relaxing soak at Hot Water Beach. Helicopter to the Motu River and then raft it! Hike the 10-mile Tongariro Crossing, one of the world’s most scenic and invigorating one-day treks. Bungee Jump from The Ledge with a “mild” jump or an extreme plunge of more than 15 stories. Prepare for an unforgettable helicopter flight seeing adventure through snow-covered mountain peaks to Milford Sound, where you kayak one of the most scenic areas on Earth, with bonus opportunities to see seals and dolphin. Four-wheel-drive to nearby pristine streams and rivers, where you test your skill at fly-fishing for brown and rainbow trout or mountain bike.
