Any ideas?

Hi lidze. That sounds similar to the Queen Charlotte Track near the top of the South Island, at a guess, though the timing would depend on how you did it. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I think there are B&B's along the way and you can probably sea-kayak sections of it. If you search around you'll find heaps. Here are a couple of starting points: * http://www.tramper.co.nz/?view=object&id=272 * http://www.qctrack.co.nz/ There may be alternatives that others can also point out. You could look up any of New Zealand's Great Walks ( http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/great-walks/ ) -- some of which you can get packs carried and others like Abel Tasman or the Whanganui Journey you can factor in kayaking or canoe'ing), but the accomodation will be more simple and you'll probably be cooking your own meals unless you pay thousands of $ to a tour company.

Thank you for your advice will check it out. Great starting point.Will let you know how I go. Thanks Lid

Yeah, Queen Charlotte sounds like the trip you're after. We did it a couple of months ago in four days (three nights) and it cost us maybe $300-400 each. We stayed the first night in cabins (own food), second night in tents at a camp ground (own food again), then splashed out for the last night at a lodge and ate at their restaurant. Packs were ferried for us at $10 a day each, just carried a day-pack with some snacks and drinks. You choose how you want to travel though - you can stay in lodges the whole way if you want. Great walk in summer.

I guess you had a raincoat too!

Thanks for the nice information IZOGI
