Hooker Valley Track
3.5/5
Liked the suspension bridges, but being from Alaska the view was just okay since Mt Cook was hidden in the clouds.

Kiwi Discovery
4.0/5
Nice relaxed bus ride from Queenstown to Milford Sound with several stops to stretch the legs.
Boat tour was great, but would have liked a few minutes to walk around the boat harbour.

Escape Campervan Rentals
4.5/5
Rented a self-contained van because of freedom camping restrictions.
Van was a newer model (2010) and ran great! The company forgot to replace my gas cooker but told me they would reimburse me for buying a replacement which I appreciated. A little pricey for the solo traveller, but I would rent one again.
Thanks for your review Kathryn! You got one of my absolute favourite vans for your trip - you'd be the envy of most travellers! Sorry we missed the gas cooker (I remember Kerry telling me he got too busy talking with you about holiday stuff!) - glad we got it resolved :-)
Cheers

Routeburn Track
5.0/5
Hike was well established and marked.
Good distances between shelter/restrooms. Huts were well organised and clean. Enjoyed every minute on the track and loved staying in huts with other travellers.

Croesus Track
5.0/5
Walked a portion of the track and it felt like I was in Jurassic Park.
Would highly recommend a stroll through this park.
