What are people saying about New Zealand

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch

Jenelle_V, Nov 2026

Wonderful tours- don’t miss the Waitomo!

I’ll start with our guide, Brenda, she was fabulous! She was a safe driver, gave good info, and dinner recommendations on the drive back to Auckland. The Hobbiton tour was wonderful! Again info was great but the care and detail they take is impressive. The Waitomo Caves are very special and every visitor should have the experience to learn about such a sacred place. George was the best tour guide for the caves.

Milford Sound Cruise

MorganFox_J, Nov 2026

Bucket list cruise. Awesome time.

We took the 11 am cruise and loved the fact that it was much quieter. Upon our return the terminal was packed with people and your buses. Take an earlier time if you can. The day trips from Queenstown and Te Anau can overwhelm from what I’ve read, and now I believe it. The captain of the Gem of the Sound was fantastic. Excellent commentary with great facts and also many quick witted quips that made me laugh. My children often wondered what was so funny… The cruise ship was also top notch. The photos of it on the booking site do not do the ship justice. Modern, clean, great facilities, friendly crew, very stable in the water if you don’t have great “sea legs” like I do. This was a bucket list cruise for me and I loved every second and would recommend Pure Milford any time!

Milford Sound Coach and Cruise tour from Queenstown

Sowjanya_V, Nov 2026

We had a wonderful...

We had a wonderful experience with the Milford Sound coach and cruise tour booked through Viator. The journey was beautiful, the scenery was breathtaking, and the entire experience was well organised. The coach ride itself was a highlight, with plenty of stunning views along the way. Everything ran smoothly, making it a memorable day. Definitely worth experiencing if you’re visiting New Zealand!

Mitai Maori Village Cultural Experience in Rotorua

Gillian_P, Oct 2026

Maori magic

We went to the evening show. First a talk on Maori culture and history, then down to see a war canoe and cultural show, a hangi dinner, the Maori host then answered any questions, a quick walk around the village (very dark,steep and needed a torch), then back along the stream to see glow worms. The staff were friendly and helpful and the performers enthusiastic. Learnt a lot about Maori history and culture. Recommended

Premium Milford Sound Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown

Susan_R, Oct 2026

It rain all day but this...

It rain all day but this just enhanced the whole experience. The waterfalls were spectacular, but you couldn't see much of the mountain range because of the mist. Harry, our guide, was amazing, very funny and informative. The sound was very choppy, so if you're not a good traveller on a boat, seasickness pills are definitely your friend! Despite our feet getting wet (multiple times as our shoes were NOT waterproof), it was an amazing day. No one should visit this part of the south island and not do this experience. I really liked the small buses as we weren't constantly waiting for 50 people to get on and off. Overall, definitely worth the cost.

Milford Sound Flight and Cruise Tour from Queenstown

Michael_C, Oct 2026

The flight to and from...

The flight to and from Milford was amazing and I think it was better than driving because it takes only a fraction of the time and is very scenic. The cruise around the sound was also lovely and the ship is nice and has good views and nice snacks. Shoutout to Tru Flights and Michael and Sam for making the experience great! 😎

Waitomo Glowworm Caves Guided Tour

Kallie_C, Oct 2026

Just our Cup of Tea

Thoroughly impressed with the experience here. Our guide "Cup of Tea" was knowledgeable, humorous, and charismatic. The caves themselves were magical, and our guide was kind enough to serenade us with a song written by his ancestor to demonstrate the acoustics of the cave. Short, sweet, and to the point. Coffee is great too.

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Tour from Auckland with Lunch

Amy_A, Oct 2026

Both Waitomo and Hobbiton...

Both Waitomo and Hobbiton are must see locations. Great sights had their system down to a T to get the group around and keep on a time schedule. Our driver, Nikki did a lovely job giving us tons of information during the drive between sites. She pointed out landmarks and points of interest, and had lots of information about native plants and animals. It made the bus ride enjoyable.

Doubtful Sound Wilderness Day Cruise from Manapouri

Peter_E, Oct 2026

Doubtful Sound Is A Must See

This was an outstanding experience!! From the boat across Lake Manapouri , to the bus ride over Wilmot Pass, to the cruise of Doubtful Sound and back everything was exemplary. The beauty and grandeur of the mountain pass coupled with the majesty of the sound are indescribable with mere words. Our bus driver, Josh, kept us informed and entertained, the staff on both boats were exceptionally helpful and friendly. We particularly appreciated the food service on the Doubtful Sound cruise, which included hot beverages to order assorted cold beverages and premade sandwiches. On the advice local New Zealanders we chose the Doubtful Sound tour instead of Milford Sound. Doubtful Sound, while not as easy to get to, is larger and not as commercial as Milford. Ours was the only ship in the Sound. A truly enchanting day we will always remember.

Shotover River Extreme Jet Boat Ride in Queenstown

Rebecca_B, Oct 2026

Awesome ride and staff!

We had a fantastic ride with our jet boat pilot Joe. One of our group got a bad dose of motion sickness and vertigo, Joe realised he was unwell and dropped him off with his wife, before rhe ride finished. The staff were very lovely offering help and support. The rest of the group loved the ride! So much fun!
