"Taj, Tess and Jenni are amazing guides - very personable, knowledgeable and respectful of the environment and people. One (of the many) highlights was the delicious and nourishing food that was provided - much appreciated by us all." - Jo Davies (NZ)
"Doing the Heaphy with Kahurangi Guided Walks is a highlight of my life - great people, great scenery, great organisation. Excellent value for money. We'll be doing the Old Ghost Road with Kahurangi Guided Walks as soon as we can." - Meriel (NZ) "This is probably the best way to do the iconic Heaphy Track walk and get the maximum return on your effort." - Dick Roe (Australia) "We've just completed the Heaphy Explorer with Jenni, and it's been an awesome experience. Jenni's attention to detail, her meals and snacks, and the information she shared along the track was just tops. The weather matched Jenn's sunny disposition, and made it an unforgettable adventure. Thank you." - Keith and Sheryl (NZ) "Kahurangi Guided Walks make it possible for me to do multi-day tramps (the Heaphy Track and Old Ghost Road) in my sixties. The reduced pack weight makes hiking a pleasure instead of an endurance test. We were well cared for at every stage and spoilt with wholesome, nutritious food." - J.W. (NZ) “Walking the Heaphy Track with an experienced guide gave us great confidence, especially when the heavens opened. We were always fully briefed for the day’s walk and shown plants and animals we might otherwise have missed. The icing on the cake was having fresh produce cooked for us by our chef, Taj, who along with Jenni, carried all the food. Thank you Taj & Jenni for a truly memorable adventure.” – Elizabeth and Mike (UK) “Jenni & Taj are awesome! They are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and make great guides. And the food they prepare is amazing.” – Michael (USA) “A very memorable trip and it has made me want to keep tramping and do more of the other walks around New Zealand.” - Georgia (NZ) “A well thought out and memorable trip. The stress of total planning was removed and the extra benefit was the local knowledge of Taj and his attention to all detail. The home baked “goodies” were a luxury.” – Shirley (NZ) “Taj & Jenni are very knowledgeable; extremely helpful in planning and organizing; and very patient. They shared their enthusiasm and passion for the region.” "Best tour I ever walked. Great and knowledgeable guide. I learned a lot about NZ, it's forests and birds." - Gundolf (Germany) “I did really appreciate the positive nurturing received at just the right times. Also the care taken with meals and that the ‘chef’ ensured all were served and satisfied before he ate himself. Thank you for the encouragement and support I really needed to get me to the end of the track. I am very happy to have walked the Heaphy track for the 3rd and final time. Thank you Jenni & Taj.” – Gabrielle (NZ) “As a couple in our mid-70s Gabrielle & I appreciated the real caring effort you made to give us a safe and comfortable experience of the Heaphy. The quantity and quality of food you prepared for us far exceeded our expectations, and was a highlight. When the heavy rains came and the streams were rising we were unconcerned, knowing that we were well guided.” - Dan (NZ) “Absolutely loved the Heaphy Track 5 day tramp, a trip we’ll never forget. The Kahurangi Guided Walks team took care of all the arrangements which made a trip such as this possible, especially as we are visiting from overseas on holiday. Thank you, guys, you were brilliant!” - V & J (UK) "If you fancy a multi-day hike but hate preparation, carrying heavy packs and worry about safety/lone travelling, Kahurangi Guided Walks is for you. Excellent value as food is natural, nutritious and very filling. It's carried for you, cooked for you and the guides are interesting, knowledgeable, and look after you every step. Wouldn't do it any other way." - Veronica (UK) “Taj was a splendid guide and we had complete confidence in him. He was totally organized, understanding, informative, and unflappable. He kept producing food surprises like a magician producing rabbits from a hat. We had a great trip!” – John (UK) “Carrying a light pack without food made walking the Heaphy Track possible for me and also enjoyable. The guide’s knowledge of the track, the plants, and the bird life were excellent and enhanced the experience. Hiking with a group was fun too.” J.W. (NZ) “Great mix of being well organized but also very relaxed. Love that you are so flexible about your trips. Love that you support and advocate for local businesses and activities. Thanks for offering such great vegetarian options and home cooking.” – Ali (NZ) “Awesome trek, displaying the wild West Coast of NZ at it’s rugged best after it takes you cross country through hills & valleys, across rivers & through forests from Golden Bay through the amazing Kahurangi National Park.” – Bernie (Australia) "The Heaphy is one of the best walks in NZ. Having Kahurangi Guided Walks carry our food, prepare our meals and keep us interested in history, flora and fauna was a huge bonus and engaged our party of five late 60 year olds to undertake this demanding but very rewarding tramp." - John (UK) “Great Walk, Great People, Best Times.” – Pieter (S Africa) “I came without much knowledge and I leave as a friend of this unique country”. Ulfert (Germany) “Had all the ‘W’s’ – wonderful walk, wonderful food, wonderful company”. “I was looking for a week away from everything. Walking the Heaphy with an interesting group of people was perfect. Your love of the outdoors was inspiring as I learned heaps.” – Frances (NZ) “We found the Heaphy Track interesting , untouched, and a great tramp. The guides were excellent.” "Having a personal guide for the 5 of us increased immensely our enjoyment and ability to cope with any setbacks or physical difficulties. Ending a long day tramp with a tasty meal cooked for us helped relieve the tiredness and made the evenings much more enjoyable. It was reassuring that the guide was very competent in tending to our cuts and bruises - well equipped and knowledgeable." - Jenny and Brian (NZ) "It was a very personal and unique guidance. Great experience! I have learned a lot about New Zealand's plants, animals (birds) and culture." - Sylvia (Germany) “Good guide, great few days, well looked after, treated all as individuals.” "We have just had a wonderful 5 days on the Heaphy Track with Kahurangi Guided Walks. The track is magical, Taj & Jenni are so lovely and dedicated, everything was well organized, there was food and abundance and the whole experience has left us buzzing and eager to take on another of their adventures." - Jenny & Peter (NZ) "You guys are really good. We're pretty experienced trampers but what you have gave us enabled us to complete the Heaphy without stress or tension, and enjoy a diverse wonderful environment with comparative ease." - Clive (NZ) "Your care and support allowed us to dally and make the most of the Heaphy journey - great track, wonderful scenery, superb food and the opportunity to learn a lot along the way." - Clelia (NZ) |
