Reviews: Akaroa: Pohatu Penguins Scenic Nature 2-Hour or 4-Hour Tour
Guest User2025-11-24
Fantastic, informative, and interactive tour that included the history of Akaroa, the geological features, and a visit to a farm by the beach to see penguins and feed lambs. Our guide, Kevin, was hilarious and gave us a lot of info about the area. Well worth the time and money.★

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