Peter of Guided Nature Walks and his associate took my husband, daughter and me on the most delightful day of hiking, adventuring, learning, lunching and laughing on the Routeburn Track I could ever have dreamed of. From start to finish we felt like we were in the company of knowledgeable and caring people who wanted us to love their splendid... More

This is a beautiful hike and there is such a peaceful/calm vibe there. We saw many different birds and plants. We had an awesome, knowledgeable and funny tour guide - Errol. Our stop for a picnic lunch was amazing. Not only was the food delicious but the scenery was beautiful. Pictures don't compare to really being there! We had such... More

My boyfriend & I agree that walking the Routeburn Track was the highlight of our trip to NZ. We were looking to get off the beaten track and into the wilderness, breathe some fresh air, and escape our busy life. The Routeburn was our first guided outing in NZ and was the perfect introduction to the getting to know the... More

The most amazing place I have ever been! I was blown away by the spectacular views... Pretty much everything! The river was clear as crystal and it was beautiful. I got to drink that water and I have to say it is the best water I have ever had in my life. This hike was just breath taking... I almost... More

Hi Connie & Ivana, It was great walking with you, Joanne & Kevin. Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm glad that you enjoyed the walk with us, it is really special in that area, especially as we can go off track & take a step back in time, as we walk in areas that only we have permission... More

We did the one day Routeburn guided walk. Had a fantastic time, helped by the perfect weather. This really was a very easy day's walking - you would have to be extremely unfit to have difficulty (something we were slightly concerned about beforehand!). The Routeburn Flats, where we stopped for lunch is really beautiful and made me wish we were... More

Hello, there! Thank you very much for the nice trekking along the Roundburn Track I had with your Co. on March 21. Everything was perfect. I liked the guide who had carried our food, and provided us with a lot of useful information about the NZ nature, and its birds, in particular. We've even had an off-road trekking on our... More

We did the one day Routeburn Track walk with Errol as our guide. lovely walk through forests and along mountain rivers. Good track and lots to see. Errol was really knowledgeable on the birds. We saw the endangered mohua (yellowhead) and loads of others. He also knew his trees and ferns. The day went much too quickly and despite the... More

Well we arrived in Queens town and after some adrenaline pumping madness we decided to do something chilled out. The guided walk came highly recommended from the I site when I told them we wanted something that combined walking nature learning and a bit of birding. Well it was a good decision. We went on a half day walk with... More

Super hike/stroll/walk through New Zealand's national park. Peter was flexible and knowledgeable about the environment. HE accommodated us and the poor weather that was forecast, by rescheduling at the last minute. It was a great day! More

Errol, our guide from Guided Walks New Zealand, made this a memorable experience. The walk itself was through the forest on the edge of beautiful Lake Wakatipu. He made the walk full of interest, including much bird-life. He was enthusiastic, informed and informative on virtually all issues raised. His knowledge was greatly appreciated by our group More
