What our clients have said:

"Ken was amazing. He taught me so much about New Zealand and was so helpful in every little aspect. I was glad I had a guide with so much experience."
-- Peggy Huang (CA, United States) August 2007 Winter Rimu


"Ken can write a book titled "How to be a GREAT guide." His informative facts during our hikes and bus rides were great! Very easy to talk to and more than happy to answer any question."
-- Alex Velasquez (IN, United States) July 2007 Winter Rimu


"Ken was "quite amazing"! Having Ken as our Lead Guide made a "great" trip into a "super great" one. I cannot say enough good things about Ken."
-- Joaquin Sanchez (NM,United States) February 2007 Rimu


"Ken was great! He had never-ending enthusiasm for every activity. He was constantly telling us how "gorgeous and fantastic" the next activity would be. I loved his laugh, too. He was great at offering me alternative ideas when parts of the trip were too strenous - Hooker Valley at Mt Cook and the floatation pod in Queenstown, rather than some extreme activity. I learned a lot from him and wish him all the best!"
-- Laura Ford (GA, United States) March 2007 Rimu


"Ken really did ensure that we had an awesome trip! His enthusiasm and passion were contagious! He is very knowledgeable about not only the history, of New Zealand, but the geology and local goings on as well. He was absolutely a pleasure to be around!"
-- Bruce Flanagan (MD,United States) March 2007 Rimu


"I could not imagine the trip without Ken! He was great and went out of his way to ensure we were happy, well fed and taken care of. Provided history of NZ that was very interesting. He came every morning with a smile on his face ready to show us new and exciting things. "
-- Amy Spieker (TX, United States) October 2006 Kauri


"Ken in his own subtle way challenged us to get the most out of every activity"
-- Robert King (VIC, Australia) March 2005 Rimu


"Ken did a wonderful job. Made sure everyone's wishes were met if possible."
-- Celeste Breen (IL, United States) February 2005 Rimu


"Ken was BEYOND what my expectations were! He made my trip SO worth everything. His knowledge was incredible, his humor was fun, and his kindness exceeded both of those things. FUN guide. Wouldn't trade him for ANYTHING. He made sure the trip was perfect for us. "
-- Kelli Musselman (GA, United States) November 2004 Rimu
