Most stargazing tours invite you to peer through a telescope at distant galaxies. Stonehenge Aotearoa’s new heritage experience, however, asks you to look back into human history first. Set within the pristine darkness of the Wairarapa Dark Sky Reserve, this newly launched evening tour moves beyond standard astronomy to uncover how our ancestors actually read the sky. Before the first stars pierce the twilight over Carterton, visitors gather inside this modern, full-scale working henge for a presentation bridging two distinct navigation worlds: ancient Celtic stone lore and traditional Māori celestial navigation (tātai arorangi).

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.

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch

Janet_L, Nov 2026

Magical

This was an amazing and magical experience! The guide we had for Hobbiton was actually from the US, but really knew her stuff. The visit made me want to see both trilogies again. The Waitomo Caves was a wonderful experience. The glow worms looked like millions of stars on a clear night. The driver (I wish I had written down his name) was delightful and informative - really added value for our tour. I would highly recommend this tour and would definitely do it again, if I had the opportunity!

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!

Mitai Maori Village Cultural Experience in Rotorua

Maylanie_C, Nov 2026

I loved this...

I loved this experience! Everything was perfect from start to finish. You learn a lot about Maori culture there; it’s rich, fun, and done with a lot of humor ☺️ The dances, the ceremonies, the tattoos, but also the history and the importance of transmission. I was afraid of attending an experience that was too touristy, but I was won over from the start! The focus is really on sharing. The meal was hearty and delicious, with a vegetarian option. Sharing the table with people from all over the world is also fully part of the experience; it’s always pleasant to meet other travelers! I totally recommend it; you won’t be disappointed!

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!

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.

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!
