Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    My cruise included Doubtful, Dusky and Milford Sounds on a perfect, blue sky day. Each sound was magnificent. Pictures can’t do this place justice. If your cruise to NZ includes this opportunity it is the highlight of the trip.

    EasyHike were out-of-sight helpful. The track was closed overnight (went meant magical snowfall!! Not what we planned, but awesome)- and EasyHike re-relocated our car back to the start for us straightaway- we've used them before and I'd use them again, they are fabulous

    Stunning. Incredible. One of my top hikes from a month long trip. We magically caught a clear afternoon and oh that view from the top, wow. This is such a fun hike. Waterfalls, flowers, views, snow! We enjoyed scrambling up the rocks and trekking up to the snow. The track is well marked with the orange marker posts and we found it easy to follow. A good challenge with a worth the efforts view -both at the top and along the way. Would be tricky and potentially unsafe in the rain/wet with the slick and steep rocks. We saw a good amount of people on the trail. The lot was full when we arrived. But it never felt too crowded and you had space to enjoy and go your pace.

    Great jet boat ride with awesome driver.
    A good laugh with some great stories.
    Well worth the money to see some part of the country that you can't see any other way

    We have used the Water Taxi service several times travelling too and from hunting blocks during the Wapiti Ballot. It is an excellent service with great Skippers and office staff. They went out of their way to acquire and deliver salt that we used to preserve a head skin during our recent trip. Extremely helpful and accommodating.

    Bikes were in great shape, service was excellent, direction given were accurate…all you could want from a tour that has you go on your own. They picked us up promptly when we made the call in that we had reached our destination.

    If you’re seeking the best company to work with in Fiordland , Gavin & Penny’s Te Anau Helicopters surpasses them all . Not only for the quality machines & highly experienced pilots but customer relations is the best I have ever done business with in this part of the world.

    A pleasure to do business with. 🙏

    Just back from the 2 day training weekend followed by the Hollyford-Pyke circuit; excellent instruction with a good skill and safety focus. Great having 2 instructors (Arno + Andy) for 4 pupils for the training. And the following trip with Arno was ideal packrafting country, with stunning Fiordland scenery, helped by good weather.
