Walking New Zealand - North to S Traveller Reviews

Our holiday consisted of walking and touring both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. We enjoyed hiking the well known Tongariro Crossing and Nydia Track but also the remote and less well known tracks. Travelling by our own mini bus with 2 excellent tour leaders we drove through and visited many of the well known and beautiful locations. Our accommodation was excellent, mainly motels which were well equipped, clean and comfortable, an eco lodge which was both remote and unusual, and a mountain hut! Breakfasts were included and were good, and in the evening there was always a choice of places to eat either as a group or independently. Our holiday was exciting and varied with many different experiences, our leaders were helpful and knowledgeable, the locations were beautiful and overall it was the best holiday we have had!

Very efficient with the booking and helpful with queries . The tour was well organised and as advertised, and the travelling arrangements worked well. We were given an itinerary beforehand with advice on equipment and what to take, and we felt well informed and cared fir throughout.

A wonderful walking/sightseeing holiday to New Zealand North & South Islands. The accommodation and food were all excellent. The Guides were exceptional, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, caring and hard working, nothing was too much trouble for them. The itinerary was excellent, New Zealand was somewhere that we always wanted to visit, it exceeded our expectations. The guides and the people we met were extremely friendly and the scenery stunning.

From the day we first showed interest in the holiday the staff were very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. Any queries were answered straight away. The itinerary was accurate and excellent and the holiday documentation sent out in good time. We have always found the KE staff very helpful whether via phone, email or at the office in Keswick.

A superb mix of travel, walking and sight seeing in New Zealand's magnificent and diverse landscapes. From lonely beaches, bush treks to isolated lodges, wildlife reserves, volcanic experiences, mountain walks in the snow, to glaciers and fiords. A truly superb holiday of a lifetime.

KE Adventure, Keswick. A friendly tour operator with bags of experience.

I recently returned home from my New Zealand North to South trip with KE Adventure travel. The trip was a life affirming and life-changing experience. My flights back to New Zealand are already booked for later this year. Not only did the trip enable us to so much of a wonderful, varied, exciting, vibrant country but the trip leaders were so passionate about sharing their knowledge of the geography, flora, fauna, history and culture of the nation. I arrived hoping and expecting I would have an amazing time, and I did. But I left wanting to change career and become a guide, working and living in New Zealand. I've always enjoyed going on adventure holidays, but it was this one that made me take steps to actually do it. I cannot rate the trip and the experience highly enough. Count me in for more!

KE Adventure - exceptional at providing good customer service right from information provided in the website and brochures, through to booking, through to pre-trip information and then, through Adventure South in New Zealand, excellent guides, leaders and support throughout the trip itself.
