Ultimate New Zealand

When I booked this trip, I expected to have a guided experience of some great places in NZ and a fun time with a nice group.
While this was true, this trip exceeded all the expectations I had. We had an amazing diverse group and our guide Malcolm was absolutely amazing. You could always feel his passion and knowledge of the outdoors.

This is not a trip where you get served everything on a silver plate. You will need to work with everybody, cook, clean, maybe set up a tent. But you'll have an amazing time doing it while bonding with the people you're with. Hiking NZ will provide the expertise and itinary for you to see some of New Zealand's most beautiful places. Accomodations are a mix of Camping, Huts and Hostels. Hiking NZ is possible offering an experience here that you won't find anywhere else. There is no question that I'd do it again.

The only negative thing is that you might become friends and saying goodbye will be hard ;).

New Zealand is a beautiful country with many spectacular sights and wonderful people; you'll really need to spend time on both of the big islands to get a feel for what the country offers. This 24-day trip with Hiking New Zealand is a fantastic way to experience it. We had 5 great Kiwi guides along the way. They led hikes, picked the amazing itinerary (not only hiking, but also kayaking and biking), cooked meals, drove the van, and engaged us in a lot of great conversations about the native flora and fauna. This was a trip of a lifetime and I wanted to thank Hiking New Zealand for their expertise and friendship.

Fantastic adventure. The guides were amazing. They were extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of New Zealand, geology, geography, hiking tips, history, food, plants, animals, and more. And the friendliest most engaging people to boot. And every detail of the trip from every lodging to a comfortable van to every meal was beautifully planned and timed ideally. And perfect itinerary for introduction to hiking the top spots in the South Island. Can’t wait for more.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Hiking New Zealand. The hikes, guides, schedule, group members, culture of NZ, natural beauty and wonders were beyond compare! Go as soon as you can, you will be thrilled. Hiking NZ will personalize your experience to perfection.This trip was truly a highlight of our life !!!
