This was a fantastic 6 day trip - made by the relaxed yet professional leader Kath Watzig. The equipment was good and the food great. The activities were excellent and varied - my favourites being the sea kayaking and sand boarding. More

We took part in the World Heritage Wanderer trip and found the places breathtaking; the guide, John, was a superfriendly, professional but down to earth kiwi who really knew what he was talking about. The other hikers were like-minded adventurous people who we had a great time with. I definitely recommend HNZ to anyone wishing to discover the real New... More

To begin, let me say that I am not usually one to sign up with group tours. Being stuck to an itinerary with a group is not my thing. Having said that, Hiking New Zealand guides knew how to bring it! Not only was the itinerary well planned, allowing us to hit on all the highlights of the South Island,... More

I really enjoyed the time with John, our guide, and the group. We went to some amazing places and had a lot of great views, just what I was hoping for. Even the weather was perfect all the time, so I spent most of the nights in my tent. The food was really good and always suitable for vegetarians and... More

A word to describe this trip - Amazing!! We were blessed with great weather, a good crew of people and great tour guide. The secret south showed us some beautiful parts of New Zealand - if you're looking at having an (physically) active holiday and have a love of the outdoors this is definitely worth doing. I highly recommend doing... More

This was the best way to visit the hiking trails of New Zealand. We went on the Far North tour. The travelling was comfortable, food was excellent and you can't beat the company. Our guide, Justin, made the trip so great with all his random information about each place we visited. We were taken to areas that I would have... More

A fantastic experience from start to finish, with every day full of laughs and challenges. Lots of very steep walking rewarded by breathtaking views and an enormous sense of achievement. Every kind of shoreline you can imagine, from tiny coves to 90 miles of half-mile-wide beach, volcanic islands, vertiginous cliffs and small river-mouths. Help and encouragement from everybody, especially the... More

Thanks Heather for your review, it is great to hear you had such a fantastic experience on the Far North. It is unfortunate we scored nil points from a previous reviewer but I feel that was us in the office that did not match the client to the right trip for them as both reviews are for the same guide...

My wife and I hiked the Northern Portion and words can not explain what a great time we had. The food was great. The activities were beautiful and exciting. Kath (our guide) was experienced, knowledgeable, and great fun... although not very good at ping pong =) I couldn't have imagined a better vacation for my wife and I. Thank you... More
