As a novice tramper the Takahe 5 day tour challenged, excited and filled me with admiration for my home land, New Zealand. All the Great Walks of New Zealand tracks were different with the Ben Lomand track at the end of the trip, the 'gut buster' for me personally. The views and sense of achievement were worth it though. The moody Doubtful Sound was a true highlight and extraordinarily beautiful in the low cloud and mists. All the tracks were completely different in terms of the vegetation, views and level of fitness needed to complete them, but that meant you didn't get complacent about them. Sharing the experiences with our two wonderful, professional, friendly and encouraging guides was the icing on the cake. Kim and Ruby exuded enthusiasm and nothing was too much trouble for them. I'm sure our whole group put on weight, even with all the exertion during the day, due to Ruby's special home baked cookies and beautifully cooked and presented meals. Kim's in-depth knowledge of the areas we visited was exemplary. I also thought the professionalism of the booking staff prior to the trip itself was of a very high standard. I have no hesitation in recommending this trip to anyone and on only my first day back from the trip, am already looking at other trips with the tour operator I can do.

Just want to say Thanks on behalf of myself and Alan for providing us with such an awesome experience with this 'Takahe' Trip to Queenstown and Fiordland. Jon and Elder were just the best - knowledgeable, helpful, great driver (Jon),fabulous cooks, and all round good guys. We are grateful that the tour operator kept our trip going, as we were aware there had been cancellations due to travel restrictions, but we felt pretty special and a little privileged to have just 4 of us being looked after by these 2 guys. The other couple were so lovely and we all got on really well. As for the hikes - well what can I say - every day was filled with stunning scenery, beautiful walks, and lucky for us, absolutely fabulous weather (every day!)
