We had a very enjoyable trip yesterday cruising the Waikato River. Friendly staff, lovely lunch and on board commentary was very informative and interesting. Thank you. Would definitely recommend this experience.
Le guide est sympathique et le ratio visiteurs/guide rend l'expérience unique et enrichissante. On en apprend pas seulement sur les vers luisants. Je recommande!
i loved it when it was feeding times for the kiwis. theres a 20ish year old one and it nibbles at the keeper that was funny. and a wood pigeon that was friendly and it came up close to say hello.
Had a brilliant day, beautiful weather. Kids really enjoyed eels being fed
Great way to learn about, not only Kiwi, but other NZ wildlife... We stayed for the talk in the kiwi night house. The lady was a wealth of knowledge!! Only thing I would say could be improved on was, needed more air ventilation/cooling in the viewing corridor where you see the Kiwi’s... When a lot of people are in there listening to the talk, it can get a bit stifling... My children had to go and sit outside while the lady was talking because of this... But other than that, it was great!! Thank you!!
Came specially for the kiwi and it's all worth it. #nzmustdo
We were able to see the Kiwis up close and they're night enclosure as they fed them. A really awesome thing to experience . The bird sanctuary is clean and blush with beautiful vegetation to house these incredible animals.
We had a fun time watching the kiwi bird running around in the display room and attacking the kiwi keeper while feeding. Many native birds in the park. Staffs are kind and helpful. However the park is rather small.
Thanks for an awesome trek. Definitely recommend and we will be back!
The bbq was so delicious!!!! Thanks guys really enjoyed our time
My partner and I were total beginners, but Nicole made sure we both felt comfortable and knew what to do. The farm is beautiful and there's some nice variety on the track (hills, bridges, etc.) to keep things interesting for two hours. We stopped for a snack, including fresh spring water and homemade bread. Overall a really lovely experience. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you for the experience on the waikato explorer
On this sunny afternoon I so enjoyed the cruise up from the Wharf at Hamilton Gardens. A cafe on board. Relaxing music. Friendly crew and Captain/ Owner to chat to.
Me and my partner ended up being the only ones on the cruise and it was super heavy rain that day which made it that much more special. Our host and captain were really nice and easy to talk to, also the brownie and the toastier was amazing, will definitely go back again
Excellent all round, From welcoming, service to commentary
Friendly staff and a peaceful journey on the river
The river cruise was the only thing we hadn't done in Hamilton and I am so glad we finally did it. It was so relaxing, we learnt about the history of Hamilton. The food and drinks on board were well priced and what we had was delish. Try the kids vege Nachos!
It was the best ride I've had in a long time. The horses were awesome, the nature incredible (there are some spots where they shot a scene for The Hobbit) and Nicole was really nice. When you book through this site and are an experienced rider make sure to give Nicole a call before you go do you don't end up in a beginner's group. This way you'll be able to trot and race up the mountains as well. You definitely leave with a smile on your face
I would highly recommend this activity to anyone. Nicole is a great teacher and makes you feel welcome and safe from the very beginning. The horses are beautiful and very friendly. Not to mention the track gives you access to the most surreal, relaxing scenery. 10/10, we loved it!
This was the most wonderful experience you can imagen! With Nicole and Shawn who told us about their life and about NZ history while riding in beautiful the surondigns we couldn´t have wish for more. The horses were very nice and we loved their dog, Luk who came with us on our tour. Thanks a lot and an extra tanks for the cold and lovely milk!!!
So much fun. . .had the best day ever
After our original party venue was cancelled due to rain, we jumped online and found Blastacars. The whole event from booking online, phoning to add 2 more kids, the friendly staff, entertaining briefing and 10 teens drifting for 20 mins went smoothly! Thanks team we will be back!
Kids had so much fun!!!! Good vibe helpful team and lots of fun to be had will defs go back again
A MUST DO if you like crafting! It's the most enjoyable and rewarding activity I've payed for in 5 months spent travelling around New Zealand! You'll know everything about the blacksmith job and how a forge works. Rob and Arja take a great care to make sure you feel good, the atmosphere is familial and the food was absolutely delicious! I've spent a full day with Rob, We've made a fantastic sturdy Khukuri knife and I really did a lot of it myself. It's greatly rewarding to leave with your own creation.
Ordered eye fillet, Mac n cheese with pulled pork and cheeseburger. Great taste, we enjoyed our meal! Loved interior as well.
What an amazing experience dining at Hood St Bistro. Gorgeous setting, humble and relaxed atmosphere, staff were super friendly and welcoming and the food was AMAZING! The beef burger and the fried chicken tacos literally made me happy dance! The flavours were amazing. Highly recommend stopping in and trying their delicious menu! We will be back to try the dinner menu soon!
Ordered the tapas and loaded wedges. All plates were delicious with huge portions and the serving lady was very kind. Would definitely dine again!
My son wanted to see what Hamilton had to offer. Service was great. Was a hot day, rooms were air conditioned. Didn't quite make the time. But thoroughly enjoyed out time there. We will be back. Thanks ladies. Otautahi crew.
Very lovely place to be for fun
Recommend. There are three room available which fancy light
The most magical place to play mini golf! My teenage sons had some friends come and stay from Christchurch. We took them to Ice Age Mini Golf and they absolutely LOVED it!! I
Family of 4 (2x teenagers) all enjoyed the mini golf Ideal on a cold day and good price booking through here Turned up early and they let us go through which was great
Cool experience, my daughter loved it!!!!
We had an amazing time here in jan 2022 for a birthday so we came back again in september😊 although the morning slots should be changed to from 10am to 10.15am (because the say to check in 15 minutes before your session and they dont open till 10am on the dont so you can not check in at 9.45) Besides the the staff are lovely the place is clean and it was best to go in the morning as there was not too many people😊
