Reviews: New Zealand Kaikoura Day Tour (Departing from Christchurch, Including Whale Watching Boat Ticket) with Hotel Pickup

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: From Tekapo: Small-Group, Carbon Neutral Mt Cook Day Tour

Highly recommended. Our driver Nick is nice and has passion for introducing the lakes and mountains. The hiking is easy to handle even for a senior lady. The lunch bag is amazing, the bakery that Nick went pick up before the trip is delicious and fresh. The sightseeing is memorable and the trip is comfy.

A fantastic experience with our guide Ash, starting with a beautiful Māori welcome and hope that we ended our journey as friends. Ash is a lovely, insightful and gracious storyteller taking us to culturally meaningful spots throughout the city. I loved her genuineness through our ‘journey’ and the balance of stories she shared. A big hug at the end of what felt like too short a time. Thanks Ash!
