Guides

Creating Tracks is made up of a team of highly experienced guides to lead you on your New Zealand adventure.

Head Guide and Operations Director, Taz Dawson, is the quintessential southern outdoors man. There is not much that he hasn’t mastered and excelled in since he started guiding walks in the Hollyford and Routeburn as long ago as 1995 – and he has rarely been indoors since then.

Search and Rescue Dogs Avalanche NZ

Creating Tracks is a proud supporter of Search and Rescue Dogs Avalanche NZ. 

Dogs have a keen sense of smell that allows them to locate buried victims quickly and accurately. Dogs can also cover large areas of snow in a short time, and they can navigate difficult terrain that may be inaccessible to humans or machines.
