The Routeburn track with Ultimate Hikes was easily the highlight of our 4 week trip to NZ. A superb walk over 3 days helped by very friendly and knowledgeable guides. The private twin rooms in both mountain lodges were amazing given they were built by materials brought in by helicopter! Large rooms with lovely en-suites and comfortable beds. The social... More

Achieved a long standing dream to walk the Routeburn Track. We were fortunate to experience the variety of Fiordland weather -- waterfalls thundering thanks to rain on day one; glorious mountain vistas and blue skies day 2; and a pleasant meander through forest on day 3. Our guides, Sam,Karen and Grace were simply wonderful --very hard-working in most unobtrusive ways,with... More

The Ultimate Hike Milford Track experience (we were group 160) was absolutely super. It was very well organised with every contingency planned for and my wife and I were so pampered that we felt were truly spoilt. From the girls in the office in Queenstown, the prewalk brief and right through the tramp, things were so organised that we were... More

My wife and I hiked Milford Track and followed up with Routeburn Track, and can say that this was a truly wonderful experience, thanks to Ultimate Hikes and the spectacular NZ wilderness through which we travelled. The organisation of such trips must be complex, and it worked seamlessly throughout both walks. The guides [Milford: Marky, Andy and Sam; Routeburn: Yukiko,... More

Wow! My wife and I hiked the Routeburn Track with Ultimate Hikes and it was worth every penny spent. The guides were AMAZING and so much fun. The lodges are incredible. They even have a bar for wine and liquor purchase at the lodge to help you wind down after hiking. The food provided was plentiful and delicious. They encourage... More

We recently did the Milford Track with Ultimate Hikes and it was awesome. Apart from the great scenery, lovely lodges, yummy food and talented guides we underestimated the value of meeting and hanging out with a new group of people. Being a guided walk and having so much thought put into the planning and execution of the trip we were... More

My wife and I had the Milford Track on our bucket list and recently ticked it off. Can't speak highly enough of Ultimate Hikes from our pre walk briefing the night before right through till we got off the coach back in Queenstown. Every member of their staff is a credit to their company right through from the great guides... More

I recently did the Routeburn guided walk with my children through Ultimate Hikes. The scenery some of the most beautiful I've seen in New Zealand and having the guided experience made the trip truly unforgettable. The guides were amazing and the service was second to none. I absolutely recommended them and think its great that these guys are making such... More

We meant to do the track on our own, but the public huts were fully booked, so we did the guided walk. My father isn't a big hiker, and it was the best experience ever. He was able to accomplish things he could not accomplish without the support of a great staff, beautiful rooms, a hut to warm wet cloths,... More
