Reviews: Lake Tekapo: Stargazing Experience at Cowan's Observatory
Guest User2026-02-08
Expensive for what you experience. Guides were extremely knowledgeable. Novice astronomers should do this. If you’ve seen Jupiter moons…maybe not.★

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.★

Reviews: Mount Cook: 3-Hour Tasman Glacier Helicopter Ride and Hike
Guest User2026-01-19
Our helihike was great, and an experience we will never forget. Jimmy (our guide) was excellent and took us to some great parts of the glacier. Our trip was cancelled the first day but we were given the option of the afternoon of the same day or next day for rebooking which was convenient. The only downside (which can’t be helped) was the ignorance of a couple of people in our group to the guides instructions and following safety rules. Overall I would recommend, value for money is great & it is a trip you will never forget.★

Reviews: Boutique Wine Tour - visit Central Otago, 4 Wineries & Lunch
Guest User2024-09-11
Do not hesitate to book this tour! We went in late June (early wintertime), and it was wonderful...scenery, weather, wines, food. Due to the time of year, the vineyards were not crowded, but the weather was lovely, and we were given a fair amount of attention at each of our stops. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and humorous. Van was comfortable. Tour moved along nicely, but did allow for some lingering and interactions with the proprietors and other travelers. Was one of the highlights of our time on the South Island. Enjoy.
