A wonderful way to see the stunning scenery and bird life around Tauronga. We had the most amazing location to have our lunch. We also laughed a lot.

If you want to learn about birds in NZ, Tom is your guy. We had an epic adventure blasting around the North Island getting all the inside knowledge. Highly recommend Tom for your next birding trip.
