My four day hike around lake Waiakaremoana with Walking Legends was an amazing experience. It is an interesting area with a beautiful blue lake, bright green rain forest, rugged bluffs and a rich Maori history. I enjoyed very step of the 46 km - the scenery was breathtaking, the company was great and the guides were enthousiastic, knowledgeable and very... More

Our guided walk in the Whirinaki Forest with our guide Brad was truly one of the most treasured days of our time in New Zealand. The walk was ethereal and Brad was very knowledgeable of the area, the vegetation and local culture. My son and I felt very privileged to have been guided by someone so knowledgeable. Without a doubt... More

It was certainly good, not 'average' but that doesn't seem to be a category. The walks were great, the guides lovely and Hilary, who arranges everything, extremely helpful. The lodge we stayed in was beautiful as well. Our only criticism would be that at almost $1000 per night for us as a couple, the level if service was just not... More

Loved every minute. I booked this trip with Walking Legends mainly due to inaccessibility of area and their transport into the area. I also wanted to leave all the arranging and booking to someone else, after arranging bookings for similar trips myself in the past - huts, food and transport - which becomes a hassle. They took care of every... More

Fantastic experience, beautiful country. We were looked after very well and all the organisation and logistics was expertly taken care of. Highly recommend this company to organise and guide this trip for you. The guides were wonderful.

I had the most wonderful 4 days. The scenery is superb and so pristine. I felt very proud to be a Kiwi! Of course I realise we were very lucky with the weather which probably just "topped" things off. Some of the views are outstanding. The meals were great & our Guides very informative & full of knowledge. Loved hearing... More

I have never been so well looked after - you should have seen the other trampers faces in the DOC huts when we were served eggs benedict on spinach & muffin for breakfast!! or when we were greeted after a hard day's climb with a tray of hot cloths to refresh ourselves!! The food throughout the 4 days was gourmet... More

We had never tramped before over an extended period only day trips. We are in our sixties however thought we were of average fitness, so we trained extending our day walks at home to improve our fitness which we found invaluable. On paper the walk looked a relatively easy challenge around the lake however it is not flat as we... More
