Reviews: New Zealand Kaikoura Day Tour (Departing from Christchurch, Including Whale Watching Boat Ticket) with Optional Departure Train

Guest User2025-12-28

The fish and chips included in the itinerary were absolutely delicious—the best fish and chips I've ever had! Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to see a whale flip over during whale watching, but we did see countless dolphins, which was truly spectacular! The tour included many scenic stops and views, making the whole trip very enjoyable and relaxing!

Reviews: Kaikōura: Kayak Sunset Tour with Seal Sightings

Guest User2026-02-07

It was fantastic! The guides were very friendly and the atmosphere was great; they shared lots of information. Since I was traveling alone with two children, one of them could go with a guide. The guide was very patient and kept my son wonderfully entertained. Thanks again!

Reviews: Queenstown: Milford Sound Coach & Cruise Full-Day Trip

Guest User2026-02-09

Easy to book, got accurate and timely information. The coach arrived in time. The driver-cum-guide was very good. The bus ride, commentary, cruise and general feel was very enjoyable.

Reviews: Christchurch Hop-On Hop-Off Tram

Guest User2026-01-29

Great way to get an orientation to the city. The narration was quite informative particularly concerning the earthquake. The historic trams are a nice touch.

Reviews: Arthur's Pass Day Tour From Christchurch via Castle Hill

Guest User2026-02-09

Clive was a great guide, very helpful and knowledgeable. Followed his recommendation to take a jet boat ride at the home of jet boats, Alpine Jet. I'm glad I did, as I'm sure that I would have regretted it if I hadn't. Castle Hill was spectacular, the views from the other side of Arthur's Pass took the breath away, especially when Clive pointed out the original route of the road, across the scree slope. Otira Stagecoach Hotel was eccentric and the coffee wasn't that bad... Also glad I took the walk to Devil's Punchbowl Waterfall, although it did test my fitness levels.
