What our guests say

Hear from some of our past customers about their experience!!

Was a great day tour. It was well paced with plenty of time to see the all the sights. The scenery throughout the day was amazing and I loved the pancake rocks and seal colony. The West Coast Pies were yummy and although I am not a beer connoisseur I loved going to the Short Jaw Brewery and hearing how all the different beers were made. Little biddies gin was amazing and my bottle will last ages as it won't be shared !! Jackie had so much knowledge of the history of the area and kept us entertained all day. I will be recommending this tour to everyone.

Kathy

Brilliant day. We saw so much on this tour. Jackie, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the area, the culture and no matter what we asked, she was well informed. From the Tauranya Bay seal colony, where we saw so many seals to pies washed down with beer at the Shortjaw Brewery, it was a very full day. The walks were short and easy and we got some great photo opportunities at various viewpoints. Highly recommended.

A H

I highly recommend this excellent tour. You can see some of the best part of the west coast and enjoy a full day of stunning landscapes, nice people and delicious food and a bit of gin.

James P

I was out of season and therefore the only guest on the tour. But it was the best experience for me during my New Zealand trip so far! So many indescribably beautiful places, very good food and a really good beer as well as gin tasting. And the tour guide can tell you an incredible amount about the history, fauna and flora as well as current local and New Zealand-related developments. Book this tour!
