"Normally I would try to get about myself, but I knew that to see all I wanted to I wouldn't have the time. It was a great experience. I felt I did see some 'real' New Zealand places, which I would not have found travelling around on my own. It was nice to be off the tourist track. I wanted to challenge myself physically while seeing some amazing parts of the country. It gave me what I wanted."

ACTIVE NEW ZEALAND adventure travel guide
Gemma van Beek
"Gemma is wise and worldly beyond her age. She is adept to reading people well and is extremely generous and nurturing. She can also read people's physical limits and ensured that we were challenged but not in danger during hikes. Her pumpkin and kumara pie for "American Thanksgiving" was one of the most thoughtful gifts of her time, talent and food resources!"
Pascale Pritsios (Virginia, USA) December 2009 Rimu

We love being based in Queenstown! It's the best playground in the world and there's always something new to try...
