Rainy Day Hike Worth the Effort - We had the rainiest day of our vacation during this hike and it was amazing - even the adventure with the Tesla fob which didn't work at the end of the day. (we were thankfully rescued by another Nomad guide). The hike is well worth the effort, and it provided for some great sites, waterfalls, rushing rivers, and the flats area was interesting as well. Guide was attentive and had lots of information to share about the flora/fauna, and local area.

Beautiful scenery and fun hike! - We had an amazing hike led by Benjamin! He informed and entertained us on the drive to the trailhead from Queenstown. It was clear that Benjamin was experienced and focused on making this hike a great experience for us….he checked in periodically on the pace and our wishes for photos, and need for breaks. We preferred a faster pace and due to the smaller group, we were able to make it to the Landslide lookout where we had a tasty lunch and just enjoyed the view. The scenery was spectacular- clear water, forest, views of glaciers and some wonderful waterfalls. Thanks, Benjamin, for a very personalized and enjoyable hike of 11.5 miles! You have a gift for guiding!

if you only have one day to hike, this is the destination - The one day hike along the Routeburn track operated by Nomad Safaris was fabulous. Jono was a great guide, so knowledgeable, easy going, Charlotte in the office was excellent with communications. Highly recommend this company. thank you Nomad Tours for a memorable day. The best lunch spot

Fiona rocks! - We had an amazing day! Fiona was a great tour guide, she was very knowledgeable and made the day spectacular. We had perfect weather, no clouds and no rain. Jumping in the water was definitely a highlight! Would recommend to anyone who likes a hike (intermediate) but stunning views

Great day on the Routeburn - We recently had a full-day hike on the Routeburn Trek with expert guide Brent. It was challenging but manageable with Brent’s encouragement and informative narrative that made the time go by quickly. He introduced us to the magnificent flora, fauna, and beautiful scenery of the South Island. We would highly recommend this tour.

The NZ everyone should make an effort to see and understand. - Esther was an excellent guide. Highly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna we met as well as being willing to talk about all things NZ for the benefit of the group. Her enthusiasm was catching. My great thanks to her. Mike Reynolds

Great Experience, Routeburn Guided Walk Full Day - Thoroughly enjoyed this walk. Amazing scenery, wonderful guide and friendly tour group. This was my first hike in over 20 yrs; the pace and length was perfect for a newbie and hope to do many more hikes in the future. Thanks for a great day!
