Excellence
We pride ourselves on providing 5 stars service before, during, and after your trip. Ausangate Tours is dedicated to excellent customer service and adventure experiences.
Local Guides
They are the story when it comes to traveling with us. You'll be guided by personable, friendly, active, empathetic people, who love showing off our superb trip destinations, but more than just that, they love watching you experience it.
Safety
Safety is always a priority when you're exploring in the wilderness, and we have an impeccable record. Our guides are trained extensively, they have their outdoor First Aid certificate, food safety certificate, they undergo our customized and comprehensive guide training trip.
Quality
When trekking through rugged mountain terrain with unpredictable weather, it is essential to have the best equipment available. We provide 4 season tents, mattress pads, dry bags, and more, to ensure a safe and pleasant journey.
Small Groups
Our groups average about 8 guests per departure, and are typically a mix of solo travelers, friends travelling together, and couples, all of varying ages, backgrounds and nationalities. Come prepared to make lots of new best friends!
The Physical Side
Our trips are sometimes physically and mentally challenging. That said, our trips are designed for people who understand that a little challenge means a lot of reward. You might not be an athlete, or have even done any serious trekking before, but if you’ve got a little bit inside you that wants to take on a physical challenge, be it big or small, then we can help you light the fire!
No Hidden Cost
Our treks and tours are truly 5 star and all inclusive. We do not charge extra to “upgrade” as we offer the best option included in the price already. There are no hidden costs or booking fees!
We Give Back
Joining the dots between hiking trails, we'll often pass through small, traditional towns, opting to stay the night to introduce our guests to the local way of life. We wouldn't still be running adventure tours if we hadn't taken the time to acknowledge and support small communities. After all, it's communities like this that make our trips special and unique. We also support some epic charities! As you can imagine, we have a lot of outdoor equipment, such as tents, packs and sleeping bags. We upgrade this gear as necessary, to keep you nice and comfortable in the backcountry, and we donate our second-hand equipment to schools in Christchurch. You could consider it an investment in our future Active Adventures guides!
