    NEW ZEALAND’S BEST GUIDES AND INSTRUCTORS

“Engaging and confidence-inspiring guides, routes off the beaten track, and top notch food – perfect. You can tell the guides have a real passion for this.”

“I went on a couple of Rob’s early trips and have to say they were completely brilliant! The level of care and attention to detail put into all aspects of the trip was above expectations and Rob himself is so easy going, knowledgeable and reassuring, you can’t help but have a good time. Epic places, coffee, food, and chats. Definitely recommend and will go on more trips in the future.”

“Rob knows how to plan a spectacular trip that you will remember for a lifetime! He is attentive, patient, and taught me a lot. Definitely would go on a Mountain Journeys trip again!”

“I went on a trip with Mountain Journeys up the Rangitata and over Butler Saddle. Rob and Bia are great guides, juggling all the tasks that ensured everybody had a great (and safe) time. It really was a brilliant, challenging adventure for all of us, yet at the same time stress-free.”
