I had a fantastic experience with Aspiring Guides, tackling the Gillespie Pass & Rabbit Pass route. While I have hiked extensively before, I was glad I chose to go guided for this trip. Our guide, Adam, was very confidence inspiring and generous with his knowledge. Plus he was a great chef! I was also fortunate that my trip companions were like minded people and we had a wonderful time together. I'll definitely be back to do more trips with Aspiring Guides.

Brilliant Gillespie-Rabbit guided trip in Mt Aspiring National Park over the New Year. The logistics managed by Aspiring Guides was superb... enabling big adventures with mainly fresh and delicious food, without huge heavy packs. We had a small group with lots of laughs. Despite our wide experience we all learned heaps from our talented and chilled guide, Adam. His local knowledge and experience is superb especially around river-crossings, navigation and delicious cooking :). Thanks team!
Inspired and coached by Pat, the two of us engaged Aspiring Guides, Will and James, to help us attempt Mt Aspiring. Challenged by a very short weather window, we summited in the most beautiful conditions. What an absolute epic adventure. Definitely in my top 5! Every bit of training was helpful. This is not a casual trip. We will be back for more. Will and James are both experts and gentlemen. A very big thanks.
Aspiring is a first rate company. Everyone was extremely helpful in every way. Will is a skilled mountaineer, personable, and a great cook. You could not have asked for more! What a great experience.
Great people who really love what they do. I've used them for three climbing trips and their guides are fantastic. Have always felt safe and have learnt so much. Very clever at adapting plans for challenging weather or conditions!
Walked the upper Wilkins and Gillespie pass in Mount Aspiring National Park as part of a group of 3 men who wished they had taken up back country walking as younger men! We were guided by Pat Gray. We were lucky with weather and had an epic 6 days of walking in a special part of the world. Our guide Pat was very well organised and knowledgeable and we were confident we were always in safe hands - many thanks Pat you are an outstanding young man! Aspiring guides have the walking experience maximised for enjoyment with “stashs” along the way to minimise pack weight. The backcountry huts we stayed in are well appointed and the Siberia hut in particular has a stunning location and epic views. Backcountry walkers are a fun bunch, and the evenings are a great opportunity to sharpen card playing skillls. The helicopter flight in and jet boat ride out at beginning and end of our walk were icing on the cake! Many thanks to Pat and Aspiring guides for a wonderful adventure.
Completed the Seven Day Mountaineering Skills course up at Tasman Saddle Hut with Whitney as the guide. Great FOOD, great company, and learned so many new skills for my tool belt in the mountains. Couldn't have asked for a more knowledgable and excellent guide, he gave us tools to problem solve, rather than lectures that are easily forgotten. I ate better in that hut than I have in months.
I did the week-long mountain technical skills course. Our guide had a lot of knowledge and was willing to share it which was awesome.
