I joined the group in Christchurch for the 10 day option, from the get go this trip was amazing. Not only were my fellow travel companions a blast to be with, the scenery breathtaking, our guides Koru and Carrie were outstanding. The level of hospitality, attention to detail, local knowledge, and friendliness was amazing. It was awe inspiring to witness how hard Koru and Carrie worked to ensure every detail of our trip went smoothly.

The scenery was simply breathtaking and the range of activities was very good. When weather intervened - inevitable in winter and on the west coast! Our guides had great alternatives up their sleeves and we were always kept up to date with plans and other ideas. They catered for the various needs and personalities in the group brilliantly and helped us bond as a cohesive team - I can't fault their professionalism and hard work throughout.

Words cannot describe how much I loved this trip. The places I went, as well as the people I met... most of all my guide. My guide was the most caring, knowledgable, inspirational man I've met in a long time. He was amazing, and am proud to call him my friend after this once in a lifetime trip. The perfect trip. I can't say enough of my pleasure... and words cannot describe how the trip has changed my life. Thank you to everyone involved.

The trip was the trip of a lifetime. The itinerary was well thought out, the hikes were fun and gorgeous, the bus was comfortable, the food was scrumptious, the accommodations had a lot of character, and most of all the guides were terrific! Our guides (Ken and Jaclyn) were fun, knowledgeable, outgoing, cheerful, and created an adventuristic atmosphere throughout the whole trip, which made this an AWESOME trip instead of a good trip.

A really spectacular country. We got to see and learn so much about New Zealand in just two weeks! People I spoke to after the trip were impressed with how much I had seen and the exclusive places I had been too - they were very jealous and so they should be too!! Highly recommend the trip as your guides will ensure you will see and do as much as possible, everything is organised and taken care of for you. All you have to worry about is making sure you make the most of it and have a good time. Lots of people to meet and get to know really well. Book your trip now or you will regret it!!

An excellent way to see a stunning country, by getting into the heart of it and experiencing the country from the ground up. My camera could barely cope.
