5Rosa was awesome!
Weather dependent. Our trip was on a cloudy, rainy day. We ended up hiking to Lake Howden instead of the key summit. We wouldn’t be able to see any view at the summit. Our guide took us on a nature walk after to supplement the hiking. Our guide, Rosa, was an absolute delight. She was super knowledgeable about plants/environment and was able to show us and teach us so many things. She slowed down the walk to allow us to appreciate the simple things. I now know why the rocks are orange and can spot lichen!! She made the hike so much more enjoyable in the rain. Rosa was a rock star!!
5Wonderful
Absolutely loved this day trip with Trips & Tramps. Our guide Roza was very friendly, organized, knowledgeable and fun. She was passionate about insects and showed us things I didn't even know existed. I thought the scenery was breathtaking during our tramp up to key summit where we stopped for lunch (which was delicious). What an incredible view for lunch. It would be wonderful if more kiwis would do it. We were in a mixed group and we all got on well, it really added to the experience to meet new people. We walked quite quickly but everyone in the group was catered for. I didn't think a guided walk was really necessary, but this was awesome. Defiantly will do it again. Our guide Roza shared a lot of really interesting knowledge and history about the area and I just loved it.
5You should do it
I did the 3 days Trips & Tramps trip. It was an amazing day and the tour guide was amazing. The information he provided was very different from what other guide tend to says, which I really appreciated. Beautiful view that was worth it!

This was a wonderful day. Our guides Ben and Jamie were fantastic. The hike was very scenic. The guides were extremely knowledgeable about the terrain, birds, and plant life. Both of them were very personable. My wife and I both were very pleased with this experience. I would highly recommend booking this activity to anyone wanted to go on a hiking experience Every thing about this experience was top notch!!

About Te Anau
Te Anau is a small lakeside town in New Zealand's Fiordland, the gateway to Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and some of the country's finest walking tracks.
Te Anau sits on the eastern shore of Lake Te Anau, the largest lake in the South Island, on the edge of Fiordland National Park. Snow-capped mountains rise across the water and dense beech forest covers the slopes, and the park is part of the Te Wāhipounamu World Heritage area. The town is small, with a lakefront path and a wildlife centre where takahē, a rare flightless bird rediscovered in the nearby mountains in 1948, are kept.
