Reviews: Mount Cook, Lake Tekapo and Tasman Glacier Tour from Christchurch

Icebergs, pure clean lakes, freezing wild winds and getting wet as we traipsed to Tasman glacier. They provided poncho and umbrella and great commentary!
Reviews: Arthur's Pass Day Tour From Christchurch via Castle Hill
Guest User2026-03-30
It started off on quite a gloomy weather, visibility was low. Our guide, James, was pretty upbeat and proposed a work around on the spots that we are visiting such as some stops we can skip in the morning and do it on the way back in the afternoon where visibility would have been better as the weather warm up. At Arthur’s pass the trek that leaks to the waterfall was closed due to falling rocks, James was quick witted and resourceful to provide an alternative walk through the old coach road, and it was such an enjoyable walk through the past ! Thank you James for your enthusiasm and education to ensure all participants have an enjoyable and memorable time!
Reviews: Akaroa Full Day Sightseeing Tour from Christchurch
Guest User2024-03-28
Very nice! Akoroa was such a cute village and the stops along the way were pleasant surprises! Tasted and bought some cheese and had contracted for the lunch which was DELICIOUS! I had the salmon and my husband had the fish and chips. The crew on the boat were equally as helpful and got into some fun conversations with Ben who helped spot those dolphins and a few penguins.

Absolutely fantastic tour! The itinerary was a perfect balance of sight seeing and stops to break up the day. The train was a definite highlight for us, and not to be missed. Shoutout to Joel who was a fantastic tour guide, very engaging and friendly :)
Reviews: Kaikoura 1-day tour with Christchurch round-trip, optional whale watching cruise, swimming with dolphins and albatross encounter
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!
