5.00Wow! What an incredible day. Phil was a great host and really showed off the highlights of the area. The chocolate shop tasting was so fun and lunch at Poppies was incredible. The drive along the coast was gorgeous and we even got to see a pod of dolphins! Would highly recommend this tour. It’s good for both solo travelers and groups.

5.00The Martinborough Wine and Wild Coast Tour from Wellington was fantastic! The countryside was beautiful, wine tasting and lunch at Poppie’s Winery was wonderful, hiking up to the stairs to Cape Palliser Lighthouse was awesome and dinner at the historic hotel was wonderful! Our tour guide Phil was terrific, engaging and fun to spend the day with especially for our small group of four. I would highly recommend this tour.
