Stray Team

From our guiding crew right down to our management, we are adventurous travellers who personally get ‘out there’ and suss route and activity options. We have huge experience – our founder started what is credited to be the world’s first ‘Backpacker Travel Network’. We only offer trips for backpackers so we can stay totally focused on providing exactly what you want. Last and certainly not least we are kiwi-owned and proud to show off our favourite country!

Our guides

We actively recruit motivated, interesting, well-travelled young crew. We then give them what we think is the best training in the industry. We train them comprehensively over the routes to ensure that as well as providing informative guided walks they can be your local on hand to help you find everything from yellow eyed penguin on the Catlin coast to a ski run in the Holy Cow Bar. Our guides are great – you don’t just have to take our word for it – listen to our customers, they are our highest rating feature.
