About Us
YOUR GUIDE: Greg Thomson
Gregs passion for guiding people in the outdoors began while studying ecology and
outdoor pursuits. After completion he then travelled extensively which led him to
many corners of the globe, including the Himalaya's, the Camino de Santiago,
Englands Coast to Coast, the Pennine Way, Kerry and Dingle Ways amongst others.

He has led guided trips in Europe and managed an outdoors centre for young
people while living in Ireland.

He has been a walk and sea kayak guide in The Abel Tasman National Park and the
senior nature guide for Wilderness Lodges Ltd where he worked for one of New
Zealand's leading environmentalists and ecologists, Dr Jerry Mcsweeney.

His philosophy is quite simple " I believe in going that one step further for the guest
which in turn enhances their overall enjoyment of their experience in New Zealand".
Guest Testimonials
Greg was an exemplary guide- sensitive, tolerant and flexible with a wonderfully understated sense of humour. Sue-Australia

This was our third trip to New Zealand having done several guided walks before but easily,   this would have to be the best one so far. Greg's knowledge of the
trees and birds was simply  outstanding along with his friendly, welcoming disposition made this our most memorable trip ever .
