The best thing to do in New Zealand!

5.0This was the most amazing trip I took in New Zealand! The entire day was so perfect - we started with some amazing views of Pukaki, the hikes were so comfortable and stunning and the views were to die for. The trip was exceptionally well planned - I'm glad we did this from Tekapo and not Christchurch, since it gave us so much time to do all the hikes (especially Hooker valley, which is beautiful) and spend lots of time at the Hermitage hotel, which had stunning views with lunch! Our guide Rin Taro was so nice, he took souch care of each and every person on the trip. Sunscreen, caps, shades, water, snacks, even hiking poles - he literally had it all! He was extremely knowledgeable and even told us about alternative tracks in case we got tired. And the coolest thing was his knowledge of BTS and the band's trip to Tekapo - he knew literally everything and gave us so many insights into the area! It was an unmissable must do trip for anyone in New Zealand - #1 for me.
This is a great option if...

5.0This is a great option if you’re looking to do the Hooker track and see the Tasman glacier, plus have some scenic stops along the way without a car in Tekapo. It’s a well planned day that feels like you’re on a road trip.
Enjoyable

5.0The scenic view is specular, and we were allowed for a 3-hour hiking on the track. Driver was punctual in picking up. But better prepare some food yourself as coach stopover at restaurant only at 2 p.m.

2.0Because of bad weather, we couldn’t do anything.Some hiking trails were closed.If the forecast says the will be bad weather, I highly recommend you skipping the tour. It’s too expensive if you can’t do anything.
Just OK

3.0The guide did as well as he could to accommodate the weather. The walks were nice enough, not spectacular. Not sure if it was just the weather.
