It’s a while since we did...
It’s a while since we did this tour and have been meaning to leave a review for ages. One of us is a massive LOTR fan, 2 really like it and one not that bothered but had seen it. We ALL had an amazing time and it was money well spent. Our tour guide was lovely. I can’t remember her name but she said she used to work on yachts. Her driving was also good which is an important thing to me on a tour on windy roads. All of the stops were well worth it and well paced. Our guide had lots of information which was delivered in a fun way. The group size was good. For anyone considering whether to do this or another tour- I would recommend this one because they have access to an important location that other tours don’t. I recommend making sure you apply sunscreen before you board the bus because the first stop is the one with the longest stretch of outdoor time and the weather changes quickly.

Best fun with the lights on!
If you're interested in a complete sensory overload experience, then this is the ticket for you! From the loud music, exhiliarating speed, great scenery, wind in your hair and face and the anticipation for the next on water "spin"... what's there not to like...
The assistants in the check in were terrific when I had a minor issue with a quick upgrade to a 1 hour trip... fantastic customer service!
Lastly, if you can try and get Pedro as your driver. You won't regret it!

Birdwatcher’s Delight
It was a lovely experience like walking through a garden. If you like birds and nature, it the trip for you. I have bird watching my entire trip to New Zealand, and through my visit to Kiwi Park I was able to see the elusive birds that I didn’t want to miss.

This was honestly the...
This was honestly the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I went with my girlfriend, they kept us together in the same jumping group, were super helpful, and made us feel so safe! It was such an amazing experience and everything from the beginning to the end was truly 100/10. Super easy process, straightforward, and they ease your nerves if you have any. We felt super safe and comfortable the whole time! Highly recommend!!

We just did the return trip across Lake Walatipu without visiting Walter Peak Farm. The trip allowed great views of the lake and surrounding mountains, but the best bit was the atmosphere of the old steamer. You could even go below and check out the workings of the steam engine. Great experience.

Afraid of heights
We did the 2 zip lines with the jump off a deck at the end. Sydney & Shazz were our guides. Our own personal “Team Canada!”🇨🇦 They were professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. They were also friendly and funny! They made the experience so much fun. This was my first time zip lining and I am afraid of heights. I wanted to push myself. Without Sydney there is no way I would have made the 60ft drop after the two zip lines. I was scared to death and she encouraged me and walked me through it. I was successful. Overcoming my fears and positive support made it happen. Thanks, Sydney!

Absolutely Fantastic !
WOW — what an awesome experience! An all-round great adventure from start to finish. The check-in was warm and welcoming, and the trip to the site was easy and close by.
Diego (apologies if I’ve misspelled his name) was absolutely fantastic. He made us feel completely at ease as he drove us through the property, sharing insights and explaining everything along the way.
The views were incredible as well. Highly recommend!

Back again for this in 2026!
Super friendly staff. I dropped my phone within the boat through a narrow hole and they went back to base to retrieve it for me. The jet boat ride was within awesome scenery and the funyak back was stunningly beautiful… the gorge was so so magnificent… I have dreamt about this day since Nov 22. I’m going back this Dec 26… doing this again!!!!! Was just the right amount of adventure for a 60+ old bird…

Milford Sound Day Tour with Scenic Cruise
An absolutely unforgettable experience from start to finish. The journey from Queenstown to Milford Sound was just as breathtaking as the destination itself, with stunning scenery at every turn. The scenic cruise was incredible — peaceful, majestic, and truly humbling.
A special mention to our bus driver, who was fantastic. He was caring, attentive, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable throughout the long day. His knowledge, kindness, and genuine care for passengers really stood out and made the experience even more enjoyable.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Queenstown — a must-do experience in New Zealand.

Majestic!
We had a wonderful experience on this excursion. Thomas greeted us with a cheerful welcome. He created a welcoming environment for all the travelers to get to know each other with a fun individual introduction exercise. He shared cultural stories. He shared geographical knowledge of the region. He shared plant and animal details. He hosted a charming tea with yummy grilled cheese sandwiches with fresh slices of kiwi fruit.
We experienced the rock, the water, the trees, the sky, the wind. It was majestic and he helped create this experience seemlessly. He was an excellent driver and made us feel safe on a windy and sometimes gravelly road. Everything was special. No complaints. Thank you!

Wine tour - a well spent half day!
I was hesitant to sign up as I’m not a “wine” connoisseur. But, it was one of the best half day tours I’ve gone on. Our guide, Ben was knowledgeable and entertaining. The wineries were each unique. The third winery, with the cheese board snack, was great!
I went by myself and by the end of the day we were all friends!

Way better than expected.
This tour was so much better than we expected. Steam ship is beautiful and you can really explore all of it. The animals at the farm are gorgeous and friendly. The food provided for afternoon tea was amazing and there was free time to walk around the gardens and the beach. Fab tour.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Queenstown is known as New Zealand's adventure capital for a reason: The range of outdoor activities in Queenstown for travelers is as epic as its mountainous landscape. Thrill-seekers can participate in sports at the more extreme end of the spectrum—such as leaping into a gorge with just a bungee cord attached to your legs—while outdoor enthusiasts who prefer more gentle activities are catered to, too. Cruise the lake, take to the air on a scenic flight, take a hike, among other options.
