5.00The cruise in the ferry itself is not really special. The picturesque views were unique and one of a kind. It's nice to have a better lunch rather than just a sandwich provided by the travel organizer Our tour guide, Jason, was the one who made the trip really felt exciting. Lots of information, nice jokes and energetic. Appreciate your effort Jason. Thumbs up
Hanna is a legend!

5.00Hanna is a legend and quite possibly the best tour guide ever! She loves New Zealand, takes pride in her job and cared for us well during the tour. Hanna’s passionate and well educated in all things Kiwi- sharing lots of wonderful information about NZ’s history and current status of the land/wild life/etc as well as answering all our questions in great detail. From one who typically struggles to enjoy and retain this type of info, Hanna shared facts and stories in an easy listening way that I’ll be able to retain /share with others when I get home. From pick up to drop off, she made us feel comfortable! I typically get motion sick, but she navigated the windy roads so smoothly. Didn’t even feel queasy! She always offered to take our photos when stopped at a beautiful vista, played great music, and even shared her anti-aging- lake Gunn water tips so we too could look 10 years younger. What a great day! Thanks, Hanna!
Great tour!

5.00This experience was awesome. My tour guide was Noah, and he had so much information to share that it enhanced the tour. It was raining, which made the boat ride wet, but there were many waterfalls.
