Amy is a joy
Amy was wonderful! Engaging and tailored the tour to the very keen if not shy participants- that was until she unveiled the swords - much to the amusement of other visitors not part of our tour group. Would recommend as an easy and enjoyable way to visit the beautiful countryside if you don’t have your own mode of transport.

I had a most wonderful...
I had a most wonderful day , my first as a solo traveler. The smaller touring bus with just 15 people made the day all the more enjoyable and well worth the extra cost. The tour guide was Jason who was full of information that made the experience a learning one as well. The weather was a bit iffy , so I was pleased at how our safety was foremost. ( It didn’t snow🙂) If 12 hours seems a long time, the day passes quickly as there are numerous stops along the way . The picnic lunch hamper had a variety of delicious choices. I would recommend Cheeky Kiwi for your Milford Sound trip!

The Story of Glenorchy and Paradise
Our tour guide possessed an incredible storytelling personality that transformed the entire trip into something truly interesting and fascinating, providing captivating tales and rich historical context into every path we took. Her passion and depth of knowledge brought each location to life in a way that made the experience feel less like a guided tour and more like an immersive journey through time, leaving us thoroughly engaged from start to finish and eager to learn even more along the way.
I believe that our tour guide's name is Shanaya. Brilliant guide!!!

Great cruise along Lake...
Great cruise along Lake Wakatipu with lots of great commentary from our captain Tyler. Lots of brilliant photo ops and stunning scenery along the way. Loved the warming cup of mulled wine bought from the onboard bar/cafe. Highlight was sitting in the captains chair to steer the boat and get photos. Highly recommend.

Fun times up on a zipline
I'm 73 and had never taken a zipline adventure before. I went with 5 friends, and we all had a blast! Saucer, Stephen and Emelie were wonderful, not only calming us all down, but showing us a wonderful, fun filled adventure. They showed us they all had a great sense of humor, while teaching us all about the area we were in on each platform. (I'm a Grade 1 teach and was impressed with their teaching skills!) One of my friends had injured her knee earlier in the day. All 3 of them made sure she was super safe, while still having fun! There was also a family of 4 with 2 young fearless girls who they catered to. We all had a delightful, very exhilarating time & a great way to end our day. I highly recommend this adventure to everyone.

Highly Recommended
Such a fun way to see Queenstown. We are 60 and have no problem using the segways. It’s was a fun morning. It was just a shame we didn’t have more time to do a longer Segway tour. The one hour tour was great. Kevin speaks Chinese and English. We were very impressed and everyone in the group had a really fun morning.

Exhilierating, exciting, and a great ride
A 25 minute ride that's worth the experience. Beautyful canyon scenery, thrilling, humerous, and exhilirating. The staff were very friendly, courteous, and welcoming. Ryan, our boat driver was awesome! He could handle the powerful engines and boat with ease. While in Queensland don't let this opportunity pass you by. This made our day.

Too much fun? No such thing!
This was absolutely worth every cent! We enjoyed it so much, I seriously considered another ticket for the next available ride. Do it!!!! My only issue is a problem with downloading the pictures but they are working with me on that and I appreciate that

Awesome rafting experience.
White water rafting was an incredible experience. Our guides (so sorry cannot remember their names) were awesome and made the rapids even that much more fun. Even got an opportunity to swim a bit and do some cliff jumping. This is a very family friendly event since the rapids were only level 2/3 (not bad at all), so for first timers, this is the one for you.

Team Jacob
What a 10/10 experience! Our tour guide was Jacob, and just like in the movie Twilight, I’m team Jacob.
My dad loved it, and he’s from New Jersey, they don’t like anything. My dad also said Jacob was very friendly and knowledgeable and he felt “safe in his hands”.
Personally, I felt like he projected his voice really well. Kind of like he was doing it from his diaphragm. I digress, you should do this tour, it’s great!

Amazing trip with Dart River Adventures!!
I feel like jet boating + "funyaks" on the Dart River is a bit off the beaten track from the typical Queenstown adventures and is an absolute gem of a day trip. Starting the day with the breathtaking drive to Glenorchy got everything off to a great start. Check-in was a breeze and after getting sorted with wetsuits and lifejackets, we were whisked off in a short shuttle to meet our jet boat captain and then we were off on a fabulous trip up the Dart River. Quite different than going through canyons, we went up through the braided river and it was a super unique and beautiful experience. About an hour later, we were dropped off to meet our "funyak" guides and then paddled down river in 2-man inflatable kayaks. So scenic and fun. What really made the trip even more incredible was our lunch stop where we kayaked into a gorgeous chasm. It was just enough adrenaline for my partner who is not a daredevil, mixed with adventure and beautiful nature, I'd recommend this to anyone visiting the Queenstown/Glenorchy area. LOVED it! Thanks to John, our wonderful kayak guide. Sorry I can't remember our jet boat guides name, but he was terrific too.

Delightful!
First, let me start by saying, our driver Keri made the tour one of the best we have taken. She was personable, helpful and when an issue went sideways at our first stop, she handled it with grace & humour. Her recommendations on what to do and see were spot on.
This the second hop on hop off wine experience and it did not disappoint! Do it, you will not regret it.
