Loved hiking the Hooker Valley. We got super lucky with the weather and had the best views ever. On the way our guide explained a lot about NZ wildlife and industries. It was great to stop at some viewpoints on the way there too. Having a small group truly makes the difference! I would have liked a bit less stops on the way though to have more time to spend in the valley enjoying the mountains as it's the main highlight of the tour.

Highly recommended tour! Ted, our tour guide was very knowledgable, cool, and kind throughout the duration of our tour. It was a good decision to book this tour as this gave us lots of time to enjoy and get the rest we need instead of doing a drive. It was very comfortable and the good thing is you also meet lots of people!

Really nice tour to see Mt. Cook. Incredible scenery! Trip includes enough breaks along to the way to breakup the 12 hour tour. Enough time at Mt. Cook to do the do the hike to the base and glacier. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and courteous to our group of 15. Caution, a lot of driving in a van that has fairly tight seating.
