New Zealand is a beautiful country with really fun and interesting people. But the trip leaders made this an exceptional experience. The trip was well organized and the leaders were knowledgable about the country, its history, and people. They even provided some unexpected fun activity option. The leaders kept us laughing the whole trip.

Great Kiwi Experience!
We loved our hiking/biking/kayaking trip to New Zealand South Island. The guides were amazing, there are incredible vistas around every turn and the trip coordination was flawless. Also, because VBT hires all local guides, we received great recommendations for restaurants and optional tours on our extension. We also learned some new Kiwi phrases. A gob-smacking adventure!

The Most Beautiful Place in the World
New Zealand is the most beautiful place in the world. At least, that is the conclusion my wife and I reached during our wonderful Country Walkers trip to the South Island. Among other delights, we were treated to a wondrous mix of mountain and water scenery on the Queen Charlotte Track in Marlborough Sounds and fern jungles along along the coastal trails of Abel Tasman National Park. The walking was never too demanding but there was scope to do more for those of us willing to take it on. Our guides, Mark and Sarah, were absolutely superb. Our hotels and food were first rate. We have done a number of these trips now and loved them all. But I have to say this was the best.

Exceptional experience in a land far, far away
This was my first trip with Country Walkers and also my first trip to New Zealand. From our first experience with the delightful driver at the Aukland airport provided by Country Walkers to the last hike together with our guides Mark and Sarah this trip was exceptional. I have such fond memories of places visited and friendships nurtured on the trails. I am so grateful for the experiences this walking tour provided. Thank you Mark and Sarah! You are awesome!
