Amazing day trip
It was a fantastic day. Clay picked us up and showed us different places that were just amazing. We were a great team in the van. With people coming from everywhere. We spent the day together and ended it in a pool whose water was very hot and a sea view !! What better ??? C'était une journée fantastique. Clay est venue nous chercher et nous a montré différents endroits qui étaient juste incroyable. Nous étions une super équipe dans le van. Avec des personnes qui venaient d'un peu partout. Nous avons passé cette journée tous ensemble et nous l'avons finis dans une piscine dont l'eau était très chaude et vu sur la mer !! Quoi de mieux ???

Excellent!
This was a great experience! My friend and I are new to New Zealand and tried other tour companies for different trips (which weren't as good or as organized), but this was by far the highlight. We made some really nice friends and our tour guide, Jojo was amazing! Would highly recommend it!

Awesome Experiwnce & Guide!
Everything was great on our tour, starting with the pickup from our hotel. This energetic driver jumped out, and with a great big smile and handshake said I'm George nice to meet you. He was wonderful the entire day, and was very keen on ensuring everyone had what they needed. He prepared us very well with advice and background on all the areas, including plants, birds, local Kiwi customs, etc. The day of our trip was awesome and all attractions were splendid! Would Highly recommend George and the tour his style for anyone!

Great day
It’s such a beautiful part of the world it’s crazy and our driver Rachel was a legend, she explained so many things about New Zealand and told us loads about the country . The hikes aren’t too difficult either and well worth it for the views :)

Journée sympa
Beaucoup de route en une journée, la pause dej au café ne plaira pas à tout le monde (plutôt profiter de la mer non ?!). Sinon trajet sympa, Cathedral Cove très agréable et baignade vraiment top ! Guide bavarde et intéressante.
