We’ve had several people tell us the main drawback to subscribing to the website is that they do not see the ads we print in the magazine. We agree – and not because we get paid for running ads here (advertisers are not charged extra for their ads to appear on this page) – but because we know the advertisements in Wilderness are totally relevant to you and your enjoyment of the outdoors. We also believe ads should be part of the experience of reading a magazine, not an intrusion. That’s our philosophy for the website too: that’s why we put them here – you choose whether you look at them or not.
Here is the gallery of ads we ran in this issue, in the order they appeared.

Do to recent increases in the cost to post Wilderness, we must now charge postage on domestic subscriptions. This charge represents 0.55c per copy – the increase NZPost has put in place in 2023. Even with this charge, buying a subscription is much cheaper than purchasing the magazine at retail (annual subscribers get 12 issues for the price of 10). If you do not wish to pay shipping, you might prefer one of our Website-only subscriptions.
