Routeburn Track: Gipfelglück am Key Summit – Geführt!

Abholung von unserer Unterkunft in einem Minibus durch einen sehr erfahrenen Fahrer / Führer und Fahrt zum Milford Sound über den Mirror Lake und den Homer Tunnel. Interessante Landschaft entlang der "längsten Durchgangsstraße" der Südinsel von Neuseeland! Wir kamen gerade rechtzeitig in Milford an, um den "Wanderer" zu erwischen - den Namen des Bootes, auf dem wir uns befanden. Wir wurden am Bootsterminal abgesetzt, wenn Sie selbst fahren, der Parkplatz ist in einiger Entfernung von den Booten! Es wurden Tickets ausgeteilt und Lunchpakete (im Preis inbegriffen) wurden uns auch gegeben. Wir wurden am Ende unserer Bootsfahrt wieder abgeholt und zurück zum Stop gebracht, um einen ungeleiteten Akzent auf Key Summit zu setzen (Teil der Routeburn-Strecke - volle Strecke ist ein 3-Tages-Spaziergang) - oder wenn Sie das nicht mögen Sie könnten im Kleinbus bleiben und anschließend einen geführten Naturspaziergang unternehmen. Wir wurden dann 2 Stunden später für unsere Rückkehr nach Te Anau abgeholt, nachdem ein Tee / Kaffee / Keks-Snack angeboten wurde (im Paket enthalten). Wir wurden wieder in unserer Unterkunft abgesetzt. Ein ausgezeichneter Tagesausflug ohne all die Mühe, den Homer-Tunnel zu fahren, der ein enger, einspuriger ist 1. 5 km Tunnel, der von Ampeln kontrolliert wird, was sicherlich ein Erlebnis für sich war!

8 Meilen + / - mit ~ 1, 500 'Höhenunterschied einschließlich Abstieg zum Lake Howden Hut. Bequeme Pace mit einem sachkundigen Führer. Atemberaubender Ort.

We did the 3 day Fiordland Great Walks package- thoroughly recommend it! A great way to experience parts of the Kepler, Milford and Routeburn tracks with a helicopter ride and boat trips too. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. All the trips were very well organised. (We booked through Great Walks NZ - bad experience with their admin people- so next time I would book directly with Trips & Tramps.)

Had a very wet yet wonderful hike with Andreas and Jane as guides. The Heavens opened and the views hid. Still great fun as the third day of one day hikes we did with the company. Well prepared, knowledgeable guides and great company. The group of people we walked with were just amazing. The drive along the valley gave us mountain to mountain waterfalls. Lunches were great. Would do the whole lot again.

Learned that the great walks/holes are well established routes with paths that are maintained. Geoff and Jake were wonderful and knowledgeable guides; funny and very personable as well. Hike up to the summit is a manageable walk and our group of 12 all walked at our own comfortable pace. Lunch was good and plentiful; the cup of hot tea at the top was perfect. Scenery along the way and at the top is incredible. Used our walking poles - a few steep areas with loose stones. On time and true to description. Loved it!

We had a great time during our guided walk to Lake Marian the one day and to Key Summit the other day. It was so much fun and the hikes were absolutely amazing. We really had two wonderful days 🤩

Our guide John and Jane were so kind and lovely. We stopped at several spots on the way to the Routeburn track and their explanation was very informative and helpful. As a solo traveler, I felt safer with the group on the track and they gave us a much nicer time of trail walk with all the care and talks. At the key summit, they served us some nice tea which warmed us up. Until the end of the trip, it was so much enjoyable and fun. I’ll recommend this to anyone who’s planning the trekking at Te Anau!

The guides were great and the hike is beautiful. This is a fabulous hike if you can't do the whole Routeburn tramp.

First of all, our guide, Andreas, was just so in tune with our group. I was a little unsure of the level of fitness needed, but he reassured us that it was “our” day, and he let us ascend at a measured pace. Plenty of photo pops and water breaks made it all so enjoyable. The scenery at the summit was extraordinarily beautiful. Under the tree canopy the forest landscape was vastly different than the alpine landscape above along the path. Lunch was delicious while taking in the views, and then we made our way down to regroup and then drove to make 3-4 surprise stops which added to our experience!! I can’t say enough good things, because it was awesome. Take this trek, and ask for Andreas. Kind, personable, and funny. It was a dream hike.

We absolutely loved our day walk at Routeburn Track with John, he was so knowledgeable and very accomodating to our interests. He really spent the time to get to know us and in turn used this to tailor the experience to us. We couldn’t fault the entire day!
