Awesome tramp!

Awesome tramp – such beautiful scenery and everyday brought something new to be wowed by! Fantastic having your bags carried on and the huts so well equipped that all we needed to bring was food. Can’t recommend this enough if you want to see a beautiful part of the South Island.

Fantastic walk for the whole family.

We were a group of 11 family members, with ages ranging from 7 to 71 years! We had a fantastic experience on the Banks Track, with beautiful scenery, comfortable accommodation, and great hiking. Having our bags carried between accommodation made a big difference with the varied walking abilities in our group. We loved the varied scenery the most, and can’t rate the experience highly enough!

Five Star Trip Advisor Review from 2017annamills – Feb 2021

One of the Best

Loved this 3-day tramp on Banks Peninsula. It is a VERY reasonably-priced trip for what they provide – transport to the first lodge, delivery of bags each day and the accommodation.

Five Star Trip Advisor review by N2442LGjohns – Mar 2020

Amazing walk, cute huts, stunning views and very well-organized

We thought that every hut was perfect but when we came to the next hut it was even more perfect! Every day was special in its own way but the second day had the best views and the last hut was definitely the icing on the cake (with a cherry). So much detail. We loved those short walks off the track to see special features. Really good organization and planning… the sheep made it really entertaining

CARINA HOENIG – 09 Dec 2017

Fantastic experience, service and landscape.

Exceeded expectations, track well marked, excellent variety of terrain, native bush, farmland, seals, penguins, huts just the right balance of comfort and privacy. The store at Stony bar a real treat as was the bush bath after a full day of walking. We did the 2 day walk and was manageable with plenty of rest time and stops at points of interest.
