Reviews: Christchurch round-trip + Aoraki / Mount Cook + Lake Tekapo + Church of the Good Shepherd + Lake Pukaki 1-day tour
Guest User2026-01-06
It was a fantastic English-language day tour with friends from all over the world on board. The drivers were from Nepal, the US, and New Zealand. They were very friendly and professional. The journey was quite tiring, but Ye kept chatting with us, making us feel less lonely. Although the itinerary was rushed, it was still very fulfilling, and we visited all the places we wanted to see.★

Expensive for what you experience. Guides were extremely knowledgeable. Novice astronomers should do this. If you’ve seen Jupiter moons…maybe not.★

Reviews: Mitai Maori Village: Cultural Experience and Dinner Buffet
Guest User2026-02-08
A wonderful and thought provoking experience. The MC took us through how the mighty Māori culture and how it evolved over the centuries to modern day. Loved the warriors and women, the canoe, dances and warrior threats and weapons. Delicious food and a fantastic evening thanks to the special people of Aotearoa
