You will see hundreds of gloworms. In addition you will have an nice hike through the reserve learning about the native trees and ferns. If it is a clear night, you will also see a sky full of stars. Stephen was very informative, enthusiastic, and personable.

No need to do the 5+ hours drive round trip to Waitomo Caves, as there are tons of glowworms all within a 30 minute drive from downtown Auckland. Our guide Kate was very cordial, knowledgeable, and passionate about the tour. She drove us to the secluded area where there were hundreds of glowworms. Kate did a great job of explaining how and why glowworms 'glow' and provided a unique and up-close experience. Highly recommend the tour, not only because it will save you a ton of time, but more for Kate's information and the overall experience.

We had an amazing experience with Wanaka Wine Tours. The small group size, just eight guests in a comfortable van, made the entire day feel personal and relaxed. Our driver picked us up directly from our Airbnb and dropped us back off afterward, which made everything incredibly convenient. As we drove through the beautiful Otago region, our guide, Rod, shared local commentary and stories that added depth to the experience. One of the highlights was the incredible meal cooked in old wine barrels. It was such a unique touch and something we had never seen before on a wine tour. The food, the wine, and the scenery all came together perfectly. If you are visiting Wanaka and want a well-paced, intimate wine tour with great local insight, this is an excellent choice.

It was a tough day because of the pouring rain but the wineries were wonderful. We enjoyed the boutique feeling of both, and a lovely charcuterie at Poppies. We opted to pass the third winery and tour Greydon (spelling?) - cute town. Our husbands were looking for Merino Wool sweaters and our guide helped drive them around to look even though it’s summer here

Phil was a fabulous tour guide. We visited 3 different establishments and were extremely impressed with the selections. Phil worked with us to help in tailoring our selections to meet our preferences. The van was very comfortable and the drive from Wellington to Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt was very pleasant. We enjoyed our time together and would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent wine tour. Kirsty, our tour guide was fantastic, very friendly and informative. The wineries we visited were all excellent and we enjoyed great wines, the history of each winery and informed explanations about the various wines we tried. First class, would highly recommend

Had the best time thanks to Stuart on the twilight tour. He was lovely company and also very educational on the areas we visited. The weather wasn’t great but we all still managed to make the most of it. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends.
