David_H, Dec 2024
We were confirmed to go 24 hours prior to the tour 45 minutes before we arrived they called and said we were now unconfirmed due to another passenger moving to another flight we had already been driving for 2.5 hours with a early morning departure. Very unprofessional and very unreasonable service and not willing to take any concern of what we were put out because of the late notice. We also were charged once we were confirmed and now will have to wait for a refund which is another annoying situation we have been put in. A very poor way to run a business.

Kia ora David,
We apologise for the inconvenience that we have caused during your recent trip. We rarely encounter such situations, and we try our best to mitigate them as best we can. We have missed the mark on this occasion and send our sincerest apologies. We do, however, have specific company policies that we must adhere to, and unfortunately, minimum numbers is one of them. It is not often that this poses an issue, but in this instance, it has. We have passed your feedback to our team to ensure our future guests' experience. Again, we are sorry for the disappointment and appreciate your understanding.
