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.

Thanks to Jess for arranging the 2 combined flights. Jess went out of her way to make sure we got the best experience. We combined the Akaroa & Banks Peninsula with the Southern Alps which was breath taking. What topped the experience off was that we had Richie McCaw as our pilot. One of the nicest guys I have ever meet. Thanks again for a great experience Jess and Richie. Hamish and Karen.

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.

Amazing New Zealand and Summer far exceeded our expectations for the vacation. Summer planned a trip based on our individual interests. We asked for wildlife, hiking and culture. We also chose B&Bs when possible. A booklet was provided that detailed how far and were to drive each day. Suggestions were made as to a variety of things to do each day. Suggestions for restaurants or quick meals were also included. The accommodations were amazing! Each one was chosen for the location to our activities and amazing views. Due to the pandemic, we were lucky enough to be able to return home on the day that we had planned on traveling to Australia. We planned the Australia part of the vacation and we DO REALIZE how much work it is to plan a 34 day trip. Each day we'd say how AMAZING it was that we found Amazing New Zealand online and that Summer was there each step of the way to plan the vacation. Thank You Summer and Amazing New Zealand!
