Awesome trip,great commentary, highly recommend to all ages
The commentary was amazing, In fact all the staff were awesome, we didn’t have the most fantastic weather but still had a fantastic day, I would highly recommend this funny yet informative and scenic delight to any and everyone, definitely a glass half full experience, absolutely nothing negative to say
An great trip, highly recommend.
Had a great day aboard the Mail Boat. Stunning scenery, pretty bays visited to deliver the mail to lovely people, and their dogs. The staff were lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed the farm visit. Sadly not a dolphin to be seen, that would have been the icing on the cake.
This day was absolutely brilliant. The crew were happy and helpful and full of great stories and information. The day was varied with drop offs, dolphin watching, a good lunch and a walk through native bush. Could not praise the whole experience highly enough
It was a fabulous summers day the time went fast. Informative tour guides beautiful scenery. Loved it.
I really enjoyed the kayak tour in the Sound. The guide was very knowledgeable about the land and sea environment that we were touring. We saw about 8 sting rays, what a treat!
If you are near Havelock in the north of the South Island of New Zealand, make sure you take a trip on the Pelorus Mail Boat. You will have a memorable and very enjoyable day.
It was a perfect way to explore Marlborough region and the wineries. The driver was knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend hop on hop off wine tours for the options of stops they had. We hopped off several stops and had an amazing mix of experiences from Aviation museum, beautiful art gallery to delightful meal and wine tasting in 3 different wineries. Would definitely explore Nelson and Queenstown next time with them.
The discount we got on bookme made this outstanding value. Driver was really engaging, good conversation throughout the journey. Very knowledgeable. Bus is comfortable and there is plenty of space. All in a really good way to see the area and would definately recommend. You get about 40/45 minutes at each if you plan to get the next bus, which is long enough, or double up if you want to relax a bit. We stopped at Framington, which was excellent and a really nice space. The Vines Village, great stop for a coffee and the cheesecake was one of the highlights of the day! Moa brewing; decent beer, we had planned on eating but the food truck doesnt take non NZ card. Food looked and smelled really good though, but heads up - take cash if you want to eat here. Not an official stop but we went to Cloudy Bay which is amazing, across the road from the Allan Scott stop. Finished at Saint Clair, again really nice place, really good. All in highly recommended.
A fabulous opportunity to visit and try the many fine wines of Marlborough in celebration of our girlfriends birthday, not to mention a hearty luncheon at Cork and Keg with having saved the best for last, Makana Chocolate Factory :D all the way from Pick Up at Picton all the way to Blenhiem return, our driver was awesome and totally patient with us ( my apologies I was overwhelmed with the great opportunity of someone driving us around such a beautiful country side I forgot to get his name :( ) Thank you again for the fabulous service, we will most definitely be doing this again :D
We booked the half day tour from picton. We started at 12.00 and we're first brought to Blenheim to start the tour. The driver Gary was really friendly and explained us a lot about the different stops. We received a booklet with the bus timetables and stops. Basically you get around 40 min. Per stop. That does mean you will have to select a few places to go as you can't do them all. We stopped at Witherhills (wine tasting for 5 /10 dollar), Fromm (tasting 10/15 dollar), Cork and Keg (we expected a free tasting here but that was no longer the case, dissapointing. But nice beers anyway) and our final stop was Framingham! Tasting 5 dollar (reimbursed upon purchase of a bottle). I would recommend to do some research on where you want to stop upfront as you will have to decide without much time and info about prices etc. Overall we had a great day!
Great to learn history about this high value treasure of NZ heritage Too hard to see a historical ship like this in the world Staff is very friendly too
We arrived with young children in Picton on a rainy afternoon looking for a way to spend the afternoon. Found the Edwin Fox on bookme and decided to give it a go, I must be honest and say it didn’t really interest me but looked like something dry to do! But wow!! We ended up spending over 2 hours there, even past closing time (we didn’t even realise, we weren’t even rushed out!) the ship itself is incredible, so well preserved and facisnatingly done up to get an idea of what it must’ve been like. Great job guys!
Well worth a visit. So interesting to see the original ship!
Amazing experience and really interactive for my children. I was very impressed.
We had three children in tow and we thoroughly the whole experience. Great photo opportunities if you like finding the interesting angles, some fun props and cut outs to entertain the kids too. Don't forget to bring some change to make a donation to the upkeep too!
We had a great trip out to the Island with friendly and experienced staff. We saw some beautiful birds and were lucky enough to see three Hector’s dolphins on the way back. Very enjoyable afternoon.
Guide was sooo kind and scenary was really beautiful. Island was soooo nice a way to go there also really great trip.
Our group of seven, old, young and inbetween all loved our trip out into the sounds. We saw penguins, seals and dolphins and the guide and captain went out of their way to ensure we got the best experience. They were friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Simply a MUST DO if you are in the area.
It was a great experience.
This was one of the best things I have done. We had two young children and the staff and guides went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. They were knowledgeable on all the wildlife and local area, the views and scenery aren’t found anywhere else and the wildlife was everywhere. If you ever have a chance to do this cruise it would be too good to miss.
Nice Dolphins and Birds!
