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.
During August and September 2008 Greg walked the Camino Portuguese, a 240km
walk beginning in Porto, Portugal and finishing in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
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 was employed by 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 of the Queen
Charlotte Track and 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. Your knowledge of the trees and birds was simply outstanding along with your friendly, welcoming disposition made this our most memorable trip ever . Frank and Barb LA,USA. |
