If you're not a fan of Lord of the Rings - don't worry, the South Island of New Zealand is more than Hobbits. Think marvellous mountains, dramatic coastlines, bungee-jumping off bridges and untouched nature unlike anywhere in the world. From Queenstown, you'll be able to explore the South Island's wonders from the tip of your finger.

Walk New Zealand's Fiordland National Park

"Walk New Zealand's Fiordland National Park"
A wonderful way to taste the NZ Great Walks and the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand's Fiordland. Each day a different aspect of the region followed by a comfortable night in the lovely township of Te Anau. Great comradeship of a small group along with the fun of the Glow Worm cave, eBikes and a Jet boat. Many thanks to Rohann Mackrell of Trips & Tramps as a wonderful guide and for expertly show casing the region.

This was the perfect little tour for my first "solo" trip. Grant, our tour guide made everyone feel comfortable, he was very acknowledgeable and knew how to crack a joke to get everyone laughing. Loved the mixture of activities and ended the trip with new found friends. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone.

I would highly recommend this Wānaka active trip. This is a perfect trip for a first time solo or for any single traveler. I loved every minute of this trip. Our guide Grant Kitto, was amazing. He really made this trip so much fun and nothing at all was a problem. He got involved in all our extra activities and excitement. He recommended so many things during the trip, so we could experience as much as possible. This was the best trip and I can’t wait to get back to NZ.

I was lucky to be part of small group, me and 2 ladies (hey Ivy & Georgia). Intrepid host Grant was incredible. He had very good knowledge of nature and New Zealand. He also had excellent connections which he used to make our trip better. He for example arranged paraflight to ladies with his connections, which wasn't part of the trip. He certainly didn't watch his clock, if someone of us wanted to do something extra in the end of day he would arrange it. Our wellbeing was important to him. To top of that he has great personality & great sense of humour.
