What are people saying about New Zealand

Kevin_N, Nov 2026

Boats Planes and Gorgeous New Zealand

An absolutely fantastic day from start to finish! We had an early 7:00 AM pickup with a small group, and our guide/driver, Domo, was amazing. She was knowledgeable, entertaining and shared lots of interesting stories and information along the way. She was also a very safe and conscientious driver, which was especially appreciated on the long windy journey. The drive to Milford Sound takes approximately five hours each way, but the journey itself is part of the experience. There were several convenient stops for restroom breaks and photo opportunities, the scenery was absolutely gorgeous, and a nice box lunch was provided. The two-hour Milford Sound cruise was simply breathtaking. The scenery is spectacular, and our boat captain provided lots of interesting commentary throughout the trip. We had several opportunities for photos and even spotted a penguin and a seal lounging on the rocks. We were also fortunate to have beautiful weather with very little wind, making the experience even more enjoyable. I opted for the optional flight back to Queenstown (at an additional cost), and it was absolutely worth it! The aerial views were even more spectacular, and it saved approximately four hours of travel time. Domo kindly arranged everything for me, making the upgrade seamless. This is a long day, but an unforgettable experience. Between the incredible scenery, wonderful guides and the spectacular Milford Sound cruise, I highly recommend this tour. If your budget allows, I would definitely consider the flight back to Queenstown!

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch

Sarah_S, Nov 2026

Great day trip to two unforgettable experiences

A wonderful experience from start to finish. Our guide Nelson made pick up easy and was great at keeping the conversation going. Being a huge fan of the LOTR movies, Hobbiton was everything I had hoped for and more. The amount of effort the staff put in really make it feel like a real life place. The caves were absolutely amazing to see and it was interesting to learn the history around them. I could have spent more time most places, but there is a lot of driving throughout the day, so I understand why we needed to keep moving. Luckily Nelson kept the van ride fun!

Shotover River Extreme Jet Boat Ride in Queenstown

Kevin_N, Nov 2026

Great Way To Get The Heart Pumping!

An absolutely exhilarating experience! The tour was well organised, with an easy check-in process and a short 15-minute bus ride out to the river. Safety was clearly a priority throughout the experience, which was reassuring given the nature of the ride. Our female boat driver was absolutely amazing and incredibly skilled, navigating the narrow canyons at what seemed like inches from the rock walls. The full 360-degree spins at speed were a real thrill and had everyone hanging on! There were also some great photo opportunities when the boat stopped along the way. A video of your ride is available to purchase, and I would definitely recommend getting one to capture all the action. If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush and a bit of excitement while in Queenstown, this is a must-do experience. Highly recommend this jet boat tour!

Milford Sound Flight and Cruise Tour from Queenstown

Robert_C, Nov 2026

The flight from...

The flight from Queenstown was breathtaking and the scenery was spectacular. Our pilot, Elliott did a great job. From a flight perspective, he told us exactly what to expect. There were no surprises and when we encountered a little turbulence, he would adjust our altitude or make a slight course change to find a smoother ride. Along the way he pointed out the various landmarks and shared interesting facts. Unfortunately, the weather in Milford Sound prevented us from landing and taking the cruise. I understood and respected his decision not to take an unnecessary risk. I was told that I’d receive a refund for the cruise and within a few hours I received an email containing the refund details. I’ll book again on my next visit to Queenstown.

Milford Sound Coach and Cruise tour from Queenstown

Valentina_S, Nov 2026

Milford sound tour

The tour was amazing, and the views were absolutely stunning. Our driver was knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting stories and historical facts about the region along the way. We also had plenty of stops to stretch our legs, take pictures, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable experience. Highly recommend.

Te Anau Glow Worm Caves Tour

Gillian_P, Nov 2026

Informative, scenic boat...

Informative, scenic boat trip to the jetty (beware the sand flies). We were split into groups of 12, ours was the last to go and we watched a video, with one of the guides giving us info on the glow worms. We then had a short nature walk before being taken into the caves (the entry is very low so might be problematic if you have trouble bending). You go on a walkway over constantly flowing water where the guide has to shout to be heard. Finally there's a short boat ride to see the glow worms. Apparently the tunnel sometimes floods which sweeps away some of the worms, so the best time to see them is over the summer when their numbers have recovered. Overall a good trip

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Tour from Auckland with Lunch

Maria_M, Nov 2026

Worth every dollar.

Experience description said WiFi on bus, but there is no WiFi on bus. The caves were a mind blowing, beautiful experience and Hobbiton was absolutely magical! I also wanted to point out that our driver was amazing! Knowledgeable, funny & a very safe driver. She made the tour extra fun.

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!

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 Movie Set Small Group Day Tour from Auckland

AnthonyL_W, Oct 2026

A Truly Special Experience

This tour far exceeded our expectations! Simple pick up by Vicki who was a great guide. 2 hour drive to the set where we had lunch and shopped before heading out on the tour. The Shire is pure magic and joy! Just being there made us feel like kids. The details that have been created and maintained are phenomenal. Actually being able to go inside of a hobbit home was the icing on the cake. A truly special experience!
