Take an unforgettable journey with our awe-inspiring guided day experience on the Kepler Track. Start off in style with a scenic helicopter flight to Luxmore Hut. Feel the rush of excitement as you soar above the rugged landscape, treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the serene expanse of Lake Te Anau. Upon arrival at Luxmore Hut, immerse yourself in the tussock fields and panoramic mountain vistas as we set off on foot to explore the alpine wonders. Let every step lead you deeper into the heart of nature, igniting a sense of wonder and awe. As the day progresses, descend from the heights of the mountain through ancient native beech forest and marvel at the towering limestone bluffs, as you make your way towards the sandy shores of the lake. Complete your adventure with a short water taxi ride back to Te Anau, where you can reflect on the day's experiences and carry with you memories that will last a lifetime.

Loved this experience. I normally do hikes on my own but all the huts and places were booked and heard about this group from a friend. I'm so glad I did it through Trips and Trams. I didn't have to plan anything, just show up and still felt like I had a beautiful day of hiking, plus my guide was so kind and showed me so many things about the landscape that I wouldn't have known. Highly recommend if you want to experience the area, learn about the history and landscape and without needing to pack in and out on your own. The team is kind, responsive and has thought through every detail but it doesn't feel over done. Can't say enough good things about them.

We few blessed to have experienced this amazing excursion. We had a short break in the weather that allowed the very competent pilot to fly us from Manapouri to the Lux hut. After a nourishing lunch at the hut we began our descent on the Kepler track. Gary, our guide, kept us safe with an excellent briefing before departing. The hike begins in alpine conditions with tussocks along the trail. We eventually hit the tree line and entered into a bush environment with beach trees and ferns. The hike concluded at the base of the mountain on the shore of Lake Te Anau. We then rode the water taxi back across the lake where a van took us to our lodge for the night. Gary provided excellent insights about the surrounding geology and vegetation. A wind kicked up when we arrived at the lake so the water taxi ride became memorable as well! Great excursion.

Yoshi and Madeleine were friendly, knowledgeable and great guides. Due to cloud cover we altered our hike to through the forest to Shallow Bay in hopes that the cloud cover would lift. Hooray --it cleared. We were picked up by the helicopter on the beach at Shallow Bay and taken up to Luxmore hut. The helicopter ride was so exciting with great views. At Luxmore hut we were able to hike a little to a scenic area with outstanding views. Thereafter, we hiked down Kepler track to the beach where the boat picked us up and took us back to Te Anau.
