Awesome Experiwnce & Guide!
Everything was great on our tour, starting with the pickup from our hotel. This energetic driver jumped out, and with a great big smile and handshake said I'm George nice to meet you. He was wonderful the entire day, and was very keen on ensuring everyone had what they needed. He prepared us very well with advice and background on all the areas, including plants, birds, local Kiwi customs, etc. The day of our trip was awesome and all attractions were splendid! Would Highly recommend George and the tour his style for anyone!

Great day
It’s such a beautiful part of the world it’s crazy and our driver Rachel was a legend, she explained so many things about New Zealand and told us loads about the country . The hikes aren’t too difficult either and well worth it for the views :)

Wonderful trip from Auckland!
Our guide, George, was very informative and enthusiastic despite the cloudy weather. Overall, this trip was a wonderful way to get away from the hustle of Auckland and see some beautiful scenery

Had an awesome day
The day trip was super cool, pickup was nice, easy and adapted to match the tidal times for Hot Water Beach. Shovels where provided to dig a spar pool which was great. Our guide and driver George was super friendly and made the trip a great experience.

Excellent!
This was a great experience! My friend and I are new to New Zealand and tried other tour companies for different trips (which weren't as good or as organized), but this was by far the highlight. We made some really nice friends and our tour guide, Jojo was amazing! Would highly recommend it!
