YOUR GUIDE

Meet Felix

Before settling in Arrowtown with his wife and three daughters, Felix worked as a ski guide, cowboy and later a shepherd in New Zealand before serving with New Zealand Police for 7 years, including as close protection officer for the Prime Minister and foreign dignitaries.

Today, he brings that same quiet capability, sharp local knowledge, and easy good humour to every day he guides.
No strict itineraries. No group tours. Just genuine hospitality from a capable local. Because in a place this exceptional, your experience should be too.
