This was a well chosen route to give a "taster" experience of some of the great walks in the South Island. Guides were well informed, patient, gave equal attention to all participants and a great sense of humour. Our group was small & like minded which increased our companionship. It made it easy to move as one and we accepted any variations or extensions to our itinerary with enthusiasm.

A very enjoyable and satisfying trip. Highlights included the visit to Stewart and Ulva Islands and the Hollyford Experience including the helicopter ride in to Martin's Bay, the overnight at the Martin's Bay Lodge, the jet boat trip down Lake McKerrow and the 19km walk down the Hollyford River with an outstanding guide in Shonagh. The whole trip was well organised, the meals and accommodation were good and the travel group were a lot of fun and enjoyable company.

Helicopter, jet boat, loved the Catlins. Loved Stewart Island. All good - especially the Pinot Noir!

The wide variety of scenery, hikes, animals and a local guide is what makes this a special gem.
