Beautiful Experience at Kaka
I booked the Kaka tour at a very short notice. The Dutch company was already very helpfull and the app with all the destinations + activities was very helpfull as well. But Whaea was our guide and she was the best! Like someone else wrote in her review: “I appreciated her expert driving, knowledge of New Zealand history and Maori culture, and her desire to ensure that we had a great experience”.

Amazing North to South
This was my first time on a long organised tour and am happy to say that it exceeded my expectations. The tour was extremely well organised and when the itinerary had to change due to bad weather, alternative options for activities were arranged.

Great experience with Leon
Really good itinerary in a country with wondrous scenery and a range of hikes. The tour had pleasantly balanced inclusions. Having Mount Cook included was a definite highlight, and one of the main reasons for picking the operator.

Nice experience
I had an incredible experience during my 19-day tour through New Zealand. In such a short amount of time, I was able to see so many amazing and different places - it was exactly what I wanted from this trip.
