What are people saying about New Zealand

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch

Jessica_O, Oct 2026

No music - bring headphones

The tour was good, our driver Rachel was the best. So easy to talk to, knowledgeable and fun to engage with. The destinations as expected, the food stop was great but I wish it was disclosed that the van doesn’t play music. It makes for an awkward time having to be in the van for hours, especially the early morning pick ups when no one is talking and everyone has fallen back to sleep, so all you can hear is deep breathing and snoring. I would suggest there be a disclosure notice and reminder for people to bring headphones to listen to their own music since the van isn’t allowed to play music.

Premium Milford Sound Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown

Amy_A, Oct 2026

Great small group tour with unforgettable sights

A full day of beautiful sights! Pick up and drop off were very easy, right to our hotel. Colin was a great guide. The tour stopped at several spots along the way to Milford sound. They were beautiful spots to take in the scenery and snap a photo. The small group size and smaller bus was also nice. Lots of snacks and water available during the trip. The boat tour company they partner with was also a good size, with coffee and tea provided on board.

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! 😎

Mitai Maori Village Cultural Experience in Rotorua

Christine_W, Oct 2026

Great Experience

This was a really wonderful evening. Very informative, lovely and plentiful food and it finished with a Maori show. The rowing of the Maori boat up the river was an impression of a Maori war canoe, but you needed to use your imagination a little. The whole experience was really great and an experience not to be missed.

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.

Milford Sound Cruise

Ashley_J, Oct 2026

Milford Sound - a must experience bucket list trip

Definitely recommend the coach trip to get to Milford Sound - a long trip but well worth it. It's been on our bucket list for some time and finally got to go. Perfect weather - not a drop of rain - sunshine throughout. Got to see seals, dolphins, and just the beauty of God's creation.

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!

Thankyou pure Milford.

Franz Josef Glacier Heli-Hike

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!
