Reviews: Christchurch round-trip + Aoraki / Mount Cook + Lake Tekapo + Church of the Good Shepherd + Lake Pukaki 1-day tour
Guest User2026-01-06
It was a fantastic English-language day tour with friends from all over the world on board. The drivers were from Nepal, the US, and New Zealand. They were very friendly and professional. The journey was quite tiring, but Ye kept chatting with us, making us feel less lonely. Although the itinerary was rushed, it was still very fulfilling, and we visited all the places we wanted to see.★

Reviews: Auckland: Tiritiri Matangi Island Ferry
Guest User2026-01-14
Excellent day spent amongst great native species. Great bird sightings. Our guide Vishnu was great. An absolute legend and we even saw a Tuatara in the wild. His knowledge of the flaura and fauna was amazing. Vishnu melded our group into a tight unit and we stayed together right to the end. If you can find this 81 year old legend of Tiro Tiri Matangi find the elderly Indian man amongst the guides. Great visit totally recommended.★

Reviews: Queenstown: Milford Sound Coach & Cruise Full-Day Trip
Guest User2026-01-28
Our trip was excellent. We had an expert guide in Brendan who was professional friendly and very engaging. The trip has a lot of driving but Brendan made light work of it by relating lots of interesting facts along the way. We made a lot of stops for sightseeing and comfort. The countryside was beautiful even before you got to the World Heritage Site. Milford Sound was enjoying a sunny day so the whole area was lovely. Not many waterfalls because of little rainfall but plenty of wildlife. The boat and lunch were very enjoyable.
