Elysia has been leading people into wild places since the early 2000s, when she launched her guiding career in Queenstown — the adventure capital of New Zealand. From the moment you meet her, you’ll feel the energy, warmth, and passion she brings to every journey.

With an infectious positivity and a rare ability to make each guest feel seen and valued, Elysia transforms group trips into deeply personal adventures. Her resume is as diverse as the terrain she explores — from guiding heli-ski adventures deep in the Southern Alps to scouting remote film locations across Aotearoa. That depth of experience means her stories are as rich as the landscapes she guides through.

Whether you're hiking a ridgeline, navigating a forest trail, or pausing for a scenic moment, Elysia brings heart, humour, and a deep connection to the land — making every Adventure ON experience truly unforgettable.
