Reviews
The Day trip was absolutely fantastic and Brendan our guide was brilliant! I left my umbrella on the bus unfortunately but they are keeping it for me when I go back to Queenstown. Brendan had a great knowledge of the area.. we did lots of stops more than anticipated because everyone on the bus was super organised at getting OFF taking photos and getting back on in a timely manner .good lunch. When we got on the boat initially we were a bit worried that we wouldn’t have good visibility but the whole front area opened up after we got on the water.
enjoyable and interesting activity. got to learnt more about the glowworms
Awesome trip! Definitely worth the long drive it was absolutely stunning! The guide was also very friendly and informative! A must see in New Zealand.
