About Us

Discover the story of Ultimate Hikes, founded by Sir John Davies and family. From humble beginnings to iconic guided walks on the Milford and Routeburn Tracks, this is our journey.

For over 30 years, Ultimate Hikes has guided walkers through Fiordland and Mt Aspiring National Parks. We see it as a privilege and a responsibility to protect these landscapes, wildlife, and communities.

Our guides bring the tracks to life with stories and knowledge, while ensuring your safety and comfort. Their passion and care make every walk memorable.

Working with Ultimate Hikes means being part of a close-knit team, living and working in stunning places, and sharing a love of the outdoors with others.

We are committed to providing a safe environment for our guests walking the Milford, Routeburn and Greenstone Tracks.
