Reviews: New Zealand Lake Tekapo 90-minute Chameleon Stargazing Tour for 14 People with Professional Telescope
Guest User2025-11-13
It was a fantastic experience. The teacher's explanations were very engaging, and I learned a lot. I learned how to identify the Southern Cross, Alpha Beta Centauri, and that the brightest star is Sirius. Gazing at the starry sky and listening to the explanations, and afterwards enjoying hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows, plus a group photo under the stars, it was all unforgettable.★

Reviews: Queenstown to Christchurch via Mt Cook One-Way Tour
Guest User2025-11-11
Great tour company! They go above and beyond with everything they do! Kristina was very knowledgeable about any topics New Zealand, and a great driver too. We had time to do hiking around Mt. Cook, and foremost Kristina went out of her way to get my bag that I left on one of the stops. Huge favour that saved my vacation! Transfer went smooth, everyone was delivered to the destination hotels, even though they had to change the driver for the last couple of stops. Great service! Thanks guys!★

Reviews: Ufly flight experience in Wanaka, Queenstown, New Zealand
Guest User2025-05-07
The staff is very enthusiastic and professional. Every step and action is explained very carefully. It gives me a lot of authority in the degree of freedom of control. For a person who has never driven an aircraft, he basically learns the operation knowledge required to fly. For newbies who want to take the advanced light flight license, it is a good opportunity to know whether it is suitable for flying. Watching WANAKA LAKE in the sky is very beautiful, it is highly recommended for people who have not tried to fly to see★

Reviews: Milford Sound cruise sightseeing tour [Multiple vessels available + wildlife encounters and waterfall visits]
Guest User2024-12-31
I am very happy to book through Trip.com for the landing of the plane. Which has been reserved But may not be able to catch up with the reserved round, coordination with Trip, ask to change the time of the cruise successfully. Milford sound on a open day, it doesn't rain, it's very beautiful. Let's go for 1 hour.
