Steve is a fantastic tour guide who tells you all the background stories and history of everything you see along the way. He makes his trip comfortable, fun and with a little luxury too. We loved every minute of it. Highly recommended and we hope to use him again when we return to New Zealand!
Perfect tour!!

I thought a lot about it before I made a reservation because it was my first time hearing about it, but it was such a good trip that it was a waste of time to think about it. An acquaintance introduced me to Jeonju first and introduced me to a satisfactory trip, but it was a really satisfying trip. The city of New Zealand was beautiful for the first time, and I really wanted to come back with my family later. And the other tour of watching growworm was so short that I was wondering how many hours I should go for that short time, and this tour was nice to be able to see kayaks, growworms, and Milky Way. The guide was also very kind, and it was even more meaningful to understand the characteristics of the area when I heard the explanation while going around.
