Flexible journeys

Stay for one leg or the whole trip. Join in on group hikes, take a cycle, or spend the afternoon relaxing — you set your pace.

Guided by people, not itineraries

Every tour is run by founders Jemma and Grant. They know the routes, the best hidden spots, and how to make each day feel easy and memorable.

The details handled

Transport, accommodation, meals, and gear are organised. You can focus on enjoying the scenery and experiences, not logistics.

Community to share it with

ZigZag tours are about people. Solo, couple, or group — you’ll find a welcoming crew. We meet as strangers and leave as friends, with memories that last.
