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.★

Seemed a lot of money at first, then you realise it’s actually good value considering the amount of work and people involved to make it all happen. The customer service by the Nevis bungy team is excellent too.★

Reviews: Queenstown: Milford Sound Coach & Cruise Full-Day Trip
Guest User2026-02-25
Get to explore around the nature and other towns before we arrived at Milford. It was a beautiful sunny day and we could take good pictures of the lakes and mountains with blue sky. Our tour/bus guide was excellent and giving us lots of information during our trip. Lunch was great while in the cruise. Highly recommended to do this package for Milford full day tour.★
