enough challenge to feel earned, but not so much that I dreaded the next morning. Meals were honestly better than expected, and having snacks, fruit and water ready on travel days made a real difference. I may have overdone the portions slightly, but that’s hardly their fault. The leaders knew their stuff, kept things light, and seemed to notice what people needed. A couple of early starts were tough, but overall I came home very pleased.
New Zealand, minus the usual faff
transfers turned up when they should, bags were where they needed to be, and somehow we got accommodation near Milford Sound when other places had told us it was basically impossible. Our group was tiny, which made a massive difference. The guides knew everyone’s names, adjusted things when needed and even arranged meals ahead, so we weren’t stood starving outside restaurants. The hikes were brilliant, proper postcard scenery. I’d planned to come home lighter after all that walking, but the food was far too good for that. Very glad we chose them.
Summit fizz and winding roads
proper walks, decent conversation, none of the hassle of driving hairpin roads (which I am awful at — left-side panic, anyone?). The days are nicely paced with 7–9 mile hikes, a brilliant Milford Sound cruise, a cosy night at Milford Sound Lodge and even a relaxed vineyard tasting in Marlborough. Meals were better than I’d dared hope in quite remote spots — real effort put into food.
There are tiny foibles: a couple of long van stretches and the odd early start that had me grumbling (but then I’d see another fiord and shut up). It’s not perfect, but it works — keeps me active, sociable and strangely recharged when I’m back home fitting walks into my weekly routine. Good guides, thoughtful details, a couple of laughs and memories to show for it.Mud, coffee stops and a surprisingly clear summit
routes that felt properly chosen (not too brutal but interesting), beds that were actually comfortable, and food that kept turning up at the right time. I used the bike every day, the walks were a nice change of pace, and the little rituals — coffee stops, pies, ice cream — somehow made the days. The guides were the real surprise; they never made a big deal of helping, but they sorted things, told the best local stories and even found a quiet spot for stargazing one night when I wasn’t expecting it. Weather was hit-and-miss, but they worked round it, so my initial fear about the elements faded. I did worry about the price, and yes it isn’t cheap, but the hassle-free planning and the stuff you wouldn’t have discovered on your own made it feel like money well spent. We covered a good chunk of the island by bike and on foot, and I came home tired in the best possible way. Would I do it again? Definitely — though I might pack fewer shirts.
