Drive Marlborough yourself, with a GPS audio guide that plays automatically as you go. Your booking unlocks the whole region in the free Wine Trails app: pick your date and starting point — most people begin in Blenheim or straight off the Picton ferry, though you can start anywhere and the GPS will pick you up — choose the cellar doors you want, and the app builds your personal route with turn-by-turn narration. 85 narrated stories cover 48 cellar doors and the valleys between them: as you cross the Wairau plain you'll hear how this was sheep country until 1973, when Montana Wines pushed seventy-five thousand vine cuttings into stony ground every expert had written off as too cold, too windy and too far south for serious wine. No group, no schedule, no guide — pause for a long lunch, replay anything, and the audio keeps working when the signal drops. You'll need a car and a designated driver; tastings are booked and paid directly with the wineries.

What are people saying about New Zealand

Audra_R, Aug 2026

Thank you Andy!

We were a group of 4 friends traveling together and this was an amazing tour. It was a small group so we were comfortable in a van rather than a large bus on the drive to and from Milford sound. They provided great packed lunches that seemed more substantial and organized than any other tour we saw. Andy was our tour guide and was WONDERFUL. He was nice, knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating. We learned a lot from him and he provided great recommendations for other things to do in the area. The stopping points on the way to Milford sound were beautiful and perfectly timed. There were plenty of opportunities to stop and use the restroom as well. Additionally, there were always snacks and waters available in the van. Andy had a great playlist and commentary that made the time pass quickly. Would recommend this tour to anyone, it is much better than trying to do it on your own.

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch

David_G, Aug 2026

Great Trip

The trip was more than expected. Going in I thought it would be more of a gimmick but the detail and effort extended to the movie set is fantastic. The glow worm caves were also much better than expected. Our guide Stephen was fantastic keeping us both informed and on schedule.

Dakkota_M, Aug 2026

A once in a lifetime...

A once in a lifetime experience. Sarah was our guide and she was incredibly knowledgeable about the glacier, and made sure to take us on a fun and beautiful adventure across the glacier. The company was very honest about potential weather cancellations, and handled a surprise cloud cover with very practiced calm. Highly recommend doing this tour!

Waitomo Glowworm Caves Guided Tour

Tara_K, Aug 2026

A must do in New Zealand

Fantastic experience. Tum, our guide, was very informative. He made the tour fun and interactive. We experienced a fly hatching from the glow worm cocoon. Tum was genuinely very excited at capturing this moment he displayed such passion for his job. The glow worms and caves were absolutely phenomenal!

Milford Sound Flight and Cruise Tour from Queenstown

Mayela_G, Aug 2026

Beautiful Flight & Excellent Service

The flight was absolutely beautiful. We had to postpone our original booking due to weather, but I really appreciated that the company was proactive about keeping us informed. On the day we rescheduled, visibility was good, but the wind conditions were still not suitable for landing and doing the cruise portion. They contacted us and gave us the option to either move the booking to another day or continue with the flight only. I really appreciated this flexibility, especially because it’s an extra effort that many other companies don’t make. When you only have a limited amount of time in a destination it's great to have the option. We decided to go ahead with the flight. Since they spent the same time we would have spent back and forth to the cruise, it was a little long for my daughter, but the scenery was absolutely incredible and completely worth it. The pilot was very friendly and kept telling us about the places and landscapes we were seeing along the way. Another thing I really appreciated was that, before I even had to ask, they had already refunded the proportional amount for the cruise portion we weren’t able to do. During this trip, I had several other tours affected by weather where I had to chase the companies myself to rearrange things or get refunds, so this level of proactive service really stood out. Would definitely recommend!

Milford Sound - Do not miss out!!

I could not recommend this specific tour enough, but what made it even more amazing than the views and beautiful scenery was our incredible guide, Robin. She was so knowledgeable about New Zealand, its history, its culture, geography, anatomy, you name it. I’m so thankful we had her as our guide. I would recommend this over and over again to anyone visiting this beautiful country!

Milford Sound Cruise

Marianne_A, Jun 2026

Great Ship, Great Tour

This boat was an excellent one for the experience as it had many seats and table tables inside, along with a café to get food. It’s one of the only boats that tour Milford sound which offer this option. But even better, there are great viewing opportunities outside and up top, which we took full advantage of. The tour took us all around the sound, and we saw all the waterfalls, as well as going out into the Tazman Sea for a ways, and then turning around to come back into the sound. The captain talked quite a bit, although it was more difficult to hear outside, but overall, I highly recommend this tour, which was also a very competitive price.

Shotover River Extreme Jet Boat Ride in Queenstown

Trudi_M, Apr 2026

Must-do when in...

Must-do when in Queenstown. Did this first when I visited in February with my sisters, and enjoyed it so much, I had to take my now husband on the way to our wedding. Both of us were really nervous before the first time we both went, but the drivers are absolutely amazing (I think they said they train for 18mths before they take passengers). Ngāi Tahu tourism are an extremely professional operation, and their safety record is impeccable. They are the best for a Queenstown jet boat experience - don't skimp and go for a cheaper operator - Shotover Jet have the exclusive rights to the section of river that's best for this. So much fun - you really won't regret it (and like us, will probably want to go again as soon as you get off!)
