I completed a four-day hike in Arthurs Pass with Hiking NZ. Not having a lot of hiking experience I was apprehensive about what to expect. However, the trip exceeded expectations, the scenery was stunning, the days although long were rewarding and our guide let us take our time. Couldn't recommend more

We took a day trip with Rod and his wonderful boat. After two days of walking the track , it was very interesting to see the park from the water . It was the perfect mix of boating , swimming, walking and kayaking . Rod's local knowledge was brilliant and it was good to hear about all the effort that is being put in to keep the park beautiful . Highly recommended to all.

My husband “pushed the boat out” and birthday surprised me with a private charter cruising around the stunning Abel Tasman and what an epic day out it was, it was the perfect way to scope out this area. Emma our skipper expertly steered us through the bays, landing us on beautiful golden sand beaches, whipping us up a platter for lunch, sharing historical and ecological facts, showing us the seals.... we could have snorkelled, kayaked it’s all there. Emma is so chill and flexible she treated us like rock stars. I highly recommend you use and support this fabulous Kiwi company.

We did the Waka tour as a Family of 6 as a Birthday treat for 3 of us who share the same Birthday. The wee ones had just turned 5 and whilst they didn’t really paddle, they really thought they did! It was such a peaceful, beautiful and relaxing morning. What a privilege also to share space, time and food with another Whanau of 6 in the current climate.

Zane is a consummate guide with an engaging manner that will transform your tour to a lasting memory of an unforgettable experience. We rate Zane as one of the best guides we’ve encountered. Golden Bay is s must-see while in NZ. We’ll never forget walking on the compact sand of Wharariki Beach and seeing the arch. We were ever so fortunate to see seal pups frolicking in a pool while being watched by one of the mothers. And Zane prepared a gourmet lunch of home-smoked salmon and turkey.

My partner and I did the swingers delight trip. The entire experience was incredible. Exceeded our expectations! The walk was amazing with gorgeous views! The best part was the kayak, our guide Brad was awesome! So knowledgeable about the area and wild life. We stopped on adele Island where Brad whipped us up a legendary cappuccino on the beach topped with chocolate sprinkles! Blew our minds. Then we cruised around the bays on our way back to Marahau. Absolutely stunning area. 100% recommend. Ask for Brad.. hes the man!

The linking of special short road trips allows you to relax and take in more of the uniqueness of New Zealand. Having existing planned routes by a born local who understands that having custom options that can be tweaked to suit rather than a set plan creates a more flexible holiday. The hot spots of New Zealand can then be interspersed with out of the way places that you may never have heard of or knew existed. New Zealand is a place of wonder and every hour the scenery changes to something more spectacular. Queenstown is a great stopping spot with so much to do and flying home is easy.

A group of eight of us experienced a wonderful afternoon of open water sailing and a cruise around the harbor. A highlight was a visit to the local lighthouse followed later by a BBQ tea cooked on board. We were looked after so well and truly pampered by Martin and Jane-Maree. The commentary of local history helped to make the day.
