Walk through the national park with a knowledgable guide to learn about the flora and fauna of New Zealand. We loved walking through areas without trails and seeing few humans along the way.

We had a wonderful time walking the Rob Roy track with Errol, and taking in the great scenery. It was a perfect day for the hike, made even better by the well organised outing which included lunch below the glacier. Errol was very knowledgeable about the area and the fauna and flora which all contributed to a very interesting and... More

Had a great time on this short (about 4 hours) hike with Errol. He was very knowledgeable in the flora and fauna of New Zealand and pointed out various birds and plant life along our trek (tramp). This was an easy hike for both my wife and daughter (who studies biology in Auckland at Massey). Really enjoyed tea time on... More

The trip was fantastic! Even though I'm not from New Zealand I've learned so much about survival and using plants in a useful way. I've also learned to build traps and how to make a fire! And all that in such a short time. I've also enjoyed the cookies and tea. :-) Thank you so much! Pete you're an amazing... More

Hi Anna, It was a pleasure walking and sharing my skills with you, thank you for taking the time to write a review. Just to keep you up to date I was fortunate enough to spend an afternoon with Bear Grylls recently, so just as you were amazed at my knowledge, so was I at his. Take care out there.... More

Did Routeburn day hike with Errol. What a great day. The day started with steady rain when we hit the trailhead. Er, track head? Errol was in good spirits and ensured we were prepared. The weather gods favored us, and conditions soon cleared. The rains brought beautiful falls from the cliff walls, and the bird life abounded. Errol's keen skills... More

We had an amazing time on our trek of the Routeburn Track with our guide Errol. He was full of knowledge which he imparted upon us with his warming personality. It was an experience that we will not forget thanks to him. The walk was breathtaking!!!

Fresh off the jet-boat river cruise, our party of four adults in the family merged into the deep green, moss-laden national forest for a 3-hour tramp with our highly knowledgeable guide, Errol. We were greeted by friendly native birds, learned more about natural habitat and enjoyed a picnic lunch by the pure waters of Lake Sylvan. Those among us who... More

Awesome! Our guide,Errol, was very entertaining and informative. We learned about New Zealand history, biodiversity and wildlife. Spotted multiple birds and tied those to local lore and/or currency. We had a wonderful time and would recommend to anyone.

In singing more of Errol's praises, we had a wonderful day on the track having him as our guide. My family and I agreed that if we'd ventured out alone, we wouldn't have gotten nearly the depth and variety of experience and knowledge. Errol was fantastic in sharing not only the track but its birdlife, history, culture, and quirks. Keep... More

We had a great time on the Routeburn Track with Errol as our guide. He is informative, entertaining and we learned a lot in the time we spent on the track. The track is well maintained and makes for an easy hike in some beautiful scenery.
