Lloyd gave us a wonderful...

Published on Feb, 2025

Lloyd gave us a wonderful back country hiking experience. Views were incredible from on high! Very interesting commentary.

Awesome and highly recommended!

Published on Oct, 2022

We utterly enjoyed our walk with Lloyd's expert guidance. Lloyd knows the country like the back of his hand and shared all the interesting history of the land, vegetation and the township. Never a dull moment and not forgetting the breathtaking lunch spot we were treated to! The natural beauty of NZ is unbeatable and we were totally in awe. Thank you for a memorable day!

Brilliant

Published on Feb, 2022

Amazing day, scenery is spectacular, highly recommended it. Best lunch spot in new Zealand and very tasty.

One of Wanaka’s Hidden Gems!

Published on Apr, 2021

This walking tour has been a highlight of our year so far. My wife and I had a FANTASTIC Day out with our guide Neil. He was extremely knowledgable about the area, entertaining us with stories from the past, geological facts and figures, information on farm operations, and pointing out a variety of different aspects of natural beauty found throughout West Wanaka Station. We greatly appreciated his company. The area is without doubt absolutely stunning. The views up the Matukituki Valley into Mt. Aspiring NP are breathtaking, not to forget the view across Lake Wanaka itself. We would happily do this walk again!

A whole new perspective on Wanaka

Published on Jan, 2021

Mark looked after us for a wonderful day. We were picked up from home for the surprisingly short drive to West Wanaka station. The views on the walk are stunning. We stopped at a lookout for morning tea where we were able to see most of the lake. You can walk as much as you want or ride in the 4wd for a few sections making the walk accessible for everyone. Absolutely recommended even if you have lived in Wanaka for years!
