What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Southern Alps
- Great Taste Trail & Beyond, Bike, Hike & Sail
The itinerary was excellent with a great mix of activities in stunning landscapes. Our guides were excellent with a vast knowledge of the country’s history, geology and culture. Rob and Anjali were fantastic at organizing and leading our group on the bike rides and hikes in the area,
- Ultimate New Zealand South Island Tour
Fantastic tour with Fresh Adventures and our guide, Dayton! We really packed it in and enjoyed great hikes and incredible scenery.
- Walking in New Zealand
I enjoyed the trip the tour guy Robbie John is fantastic he is helpful and informative. On the trip one particular motel had been changed but not up to the standards that was very disappointing specially we had to stay on for two night.
