What Our Guests Say

  • "For our latest adventure, we packed our scroggin and tackled the spectacular West Coast Wilderness Trail. The trail offers a breathtaking mix of lush rainforests, coastal scrub, rocky rivers, fairytale meadows, wetlands, and even glaciers—it's like every type of scenic video you’ve seen, rolled into one! It was a thrill to ride, though challenging with climbs that tested us all. Our 9-year-old conquered a 50km ride with significant elevation—truly inspiring! Meanwhile, our youngest, fresh off training wheels, kept pace on a tagalong bike. Over four days, Kiwi Journeys made it seamless with their fantastic support, transferring our luggage and ensuring we could just enjoy the ride and each other’s company."
