Russell was very...

Angela_M, Apr 2026
Russell was very knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciated learning the history of the various sites and tasting the kiwis was awesome. It was a wonderful half day spent.

It's wonderful to hear that you had a fantastic experience with us. We appreciate your business and your feedback.

Russell was great. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Diane_S, Feb 2026
This trip was excellent. Our tour guide was Russell. He was very knowledgeable about the area. He made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. The trip and tasting to the kiwi grove was fascinating. We enjoyed every minute of our tour. We were picked up at the port. He was prompt with both departure and return times. We then were able to walk about town and then return to the ship at our own leisure.
