    Fahrt nach Kaikoura

    Der Bus war klimatisiert und der Busfahrer sehr nett. Er hat sich viel Mühe gegeben uns die Geschichte von Christchurch und Kaikoura und dem Erdbeben zu erklären...

    There is a problem with their booking system.

    Shuttle bus was good. Nice car, few people, arrived on time. But I think there is a problem with their own booking system. I was planning to stay overnight in Kaikoura, so I sent a email to change the date of my return and received a amened voucher. However, the next day, I received a new voucher that departure and return was same date. So I had to send email again to cancel it. In addition, on the day of departure, I received email that my booking is amended that return on same date. So I had to send another email to check it once again and it was really annoying!!
