We had our car relocated from Lyell to the end of the Old Ghost Road. Buller Adventures provided an excellent service with great communication and we also got bonus shower vouchers so we could have a shower at the end at the Rough and Tumble lodge. Having the car waiting for us at the end was the perfect way to end a perfect trip.

Snowman shuttles were awesome, picked us up from our accommodation and dropped us back. Awesome service, on time and comfortable and friendly driver. Got us off the mountain and safely when the winds got up and they closed the mountain. Made the day so much easier.

Tuapeka Mouth Ferry

Reviewed By Juli-Robert - Auckland, New Zealand

This was totally different from the normal "tourist experience", & was a lot of fun. Fantastic operator with great commentary, and it was a lovely way to see the Clutha River. Reminiscent of the punt scene in Outlaw Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood) for those who like classic movies!

Snowman Shuttles

Reviewed By HoneyQTan

Very pleased with their service! Have book four times this year (Christchurch-Mt Hutt return) and they have been always on time. Their driving was also comfortable, and they handle it professionally. I think the best part was having time to relax and catch some rest going up and down the mountain.
