"Amazing experience. Everything about this trip and about the care and attention from Ultimate Hikes was amazing. The guides were great, there was attention to both what hikers might need and want as well as to care and safety, and the trails and lodges are beautifully maintained. The hike itself ( we did the Milford Track) was absolutely gorgeous. The guides were fun and cheerful while also being attentive. I would give it ten stars if I could!"
