Frequently asked questions about the walks
" Wilderness Guides provided my two sisters and I the most amazing experience when we completed the Queen Charlotte Track four day classic guided walk. We could not fault a thing."
" We did the self guided walk. We LOVED the lodges and the transportation of the bags was very organised. The whole process through the Wilderness Guides was very organised and flawless. Highly recommend them."
" Everything was incredibly well organised. Accommodation and food all excellent, the guides knew their local fauna, flora and history (despite all being POMS) and the comradery between the guides, groups and other walkers was great. One of the best guided walks that I have been on. "
