Outdoor Kid

The order arrived promptly and came with the unexpected bonus of a packet of wild bird seed and some magazines. I purchased the guidebooks to give as presents and the first recipient loved it and is looking forward to planning a road trip to try some new walks

Excellent service, especially given the complications of the Covid-19 situation. Books arrived safe and sound and with a bonus of some wild bird seed, which has been thoroughly enjoyed by our backyard birds. The books are excellent, with lots of helpful information, and we look forward to putting them to very good use when the weather warms up a little! Would recommend them to anyone with children, or indeed anyone of any age who would just like to get out on some reasonably easy walks in attractive environments.

Absolutely love this book! Definitely recommend it to anyone with kids who love the outdoors. Can’t wait to do them all.

Absolutely love these guidebooks, I would totally 100% recommend these to whanau and tamariki or anyone in general that love to get outdoors.

Really impressed with these guidebooks. We just recently moved into the area and these are exactly what we needed to get out and about. It's awesome that the length is on them and whether you can bring dogs or not and whether or not you can bring your bikes or not. Those keys about the bikes, dogs, walking, etc. is really what makes these books 5*. Great descriptions about the walks so we know whether we should go during winter or summer also. Thanks!

Our family loves this book, its full of fantastic walks, we love that it tells us whether walks are pram or dog friendly. It has ontroduced us to so many walks we didn't know about!

These are quality guidebooks that are well worth the money!

Our girls love looking through this book requesting walks, often looking for something 'with water' or 'likely to see animals/birds.' The parents love the book too, as it is so well written, easy to follow, and we know exactly what we are in for and what we need to pack! Thanks again. Also becoming a great gift choice for all!!

I bought this as part of a gift for locals who love walking. They loved it and saw heaps in it that was new.
Great value for money in my opinion.

The ordering process was easy and the book arrived in a timely manner.
I ordered this book even though I don't have young children, figured if they were easy enough for kids they would also be suitable for an older age group. Browsing through the book when it arrived I discovered some interesting walks in the region I didn't know existed. I can now start planning some trips for when the travel ban outside my district has been lifted.

Great book. So much information. Fantastic value.

We poured over this book in the summer holiday period. Couldn't believe there was a fabulous walkway/reserve right in our neighbourhood that we didn't even know existed (we've lived here for four years!). We will continue to use it to explore the Waikato, 'ticking' off locations as we go. With so much digitalisation these days, I actually like the tangible book format too.

A very informative guidebook for families to use to explore local outdoor adventures in the Hamilton/Waikato area. Loads of photos and information about outdoor activities and their accessibility to help families choose which adventures will suit them best. Have found guidebook not only useful for my family with children (and a family dog!) but also to find walks to go on with the Grandparents too. Great value.

I purchased this for my family to use when they went on holiday over Easter to explore around Auckland. It arrived just as lockdown started and they had to put their plans on hold, but they have been delighted to find so much information in the book for when they are able to take their 3 young children on holiday. I like the fact that the website is able to keep you up to date if there are any changes or extra information as it comes to hand. Keep up the great work.

Absolutely awesome book! Jam packed with so many fun adventures!

We were thrilled to discover this creative adventure guide for our family. Love how it's been thoughtfully and lovingly produced as a real help to families - giving so many ideas for free family outings in parks to enjoy nature. We so appreciate the helpful tips about each destination to visit. Years of fun ahead. The books are a great gift idea - and also we've enjoyed following online with getting emails of activities for outings. Such a creative concept! Well done.

A must have for any family. We love adventures and have this in car for our family outting days. Great information to have at fingertips. Can't wait to get back out on more adventures once lockdown is over

I have read through the book and found it simple and easy to follow. I am looking forward to visiting some new places as soon as lockdown is over. Thank you for the list of walks that are easy to do as I thought I would have to give it up after an operation last year this has given some encouragement to keep walking.

A great thing to grab on a Saturday to plan some quality family time

Great ideas for days out with the kids. Love it

Awesome book the kids and I love looking through, helping us plan our outdoor adventures together. Easy to read with plenty of information and pictures on each walk.
Discovering new places has been great...there’s so many. The ones with glow worms and swing bridges have been our favourites :)

This is a great collection of adventures that take kids' needs into account. Not just for locals either - we appreciated having this portable guide when visiting recently (highlight so far is Upper Nihotupu Dam).

We bought this one because we loved the Hamilton one soo much! We often head up to Auckland for long weekends and found this guide book to be just as amazing as our local one. Grab a copy, explore your own back yard. So much cool stuff to explore! Thank you so much!

Every household needs one of these books. Amazing suggestions, walks, parts of nature, playgrounds and so on that exist that I had not known prior to purchasing. The kids love being outdoors and this is just such a great book to pick up and plan another adventure. All the guide books are amazing, a worthwhile gift for new mums, mums with school kids, etc. Good to push the pram around or get the kids out on a fun walk, good to engage strong minds, and connect with the great outdoors. 100% recommend. Huge fan!

We are busy ticking off the adventures. Really enjoy the nature facts too.
