South Island Adventure

There were some difficulties with a sub-contractor prior to me leaving for my New Zealand adventure and Hiking New Zealand stepped up to work out the best possible outcome. I went on the 2-week South Island Adventure and found it thrilling. The guides were first-rate and the accommodations were perfect for each location. I had a terrific time and all I had to do was show up each day. Everything else was handled. Thanks Hiking New Zealand!!

The trip was a great way to see the range of different terrain of the South Island without having to worry about logistics like driving and finding trailheads on my own! With great fall weather and wonderful new hiking buddies, this was an unforgettable adventure! On top of that, my guides were so much fun and had lots of history and stories to share along the way. Couldn’t have had a better trip.

It was very well organised, guides Koru and Carrie were very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and it was great to get a feel for what New Zealand is all about. I loved staying in some of the smaller, less known areas, and the choices of hikes were fabulous and really highlighted the beautiful nature in New Zealand. We also lucked into some great weather, especially for it being so close to winter, and I knew I was seeing some amazing sights when both guides were out snapping pictures right alongside us! This was definitely a trip of a lifetime and one I will always look back on with a huge smile on my face. I would come back in a heartbeat!
