Mike and Kiyomi are both passionate about the New Zealand enviroment. Kiyomi has worked as a guide on the Routeburn Track since 2005 Mike has been guiding various New Zealand tracks since 2002. The idea for the Trackhopper service came from a chance meeting with Heaphy Track legend, Derry Kingston, who operates a similar service. We realised a relocation service was exactly what was needed for the Routeburn Track and Trackhopper was born.
