Squelching part 2


Our rescue helicopter.

Landing at Quintin Lodge to pick us up.

Wendy has her first helicopter ride!

Quintin Lodge - as we fly away

Helicopter drops us off past the flooded trail so we can walk the last 11km.

Water, water everywhere.

The trail with a little waterfall.

A tree down on the trail.


Waterfalls everywhere!


An occasional boardwalk to lift us above it.  
The end of our hike.

We finished - Marion, Wendy and Judy - soaked but happy.



Our 4 guides and the 4 of us. 
Lynda (from Ireland); Judy; Guides Lydia, Luc, Heather, & Kelly; Marion & Wendy - after final dinner and certificate presentation.

  1. What an amazing adventure! The waterfalls are beautiful and a bonus helicopter ride to boot!

    Enjoy the rest of your stay in NZ - I hope you get to see the Albatross colony and perhaps the tiny penguins too...

    Happy trails!
