Reviews: Christchurch: 1/2-Day Scenic Highlights Small Group Tour
Guest User2025-11-16
We were incredibly lucky to book a tour with Adventure by Nature. Alan picked us up at the pier and showed us the most beautiful and secluded spots, offering the most stunning views. It was a truly personalized experience, not a mass-market tour at all. Alan is not only an experienced guide, but also incredibly friendly and treated us to a picnic with New Zealand specialties at a spot with a fantastic view. I highly recommend this young company to anyone looking for a unique, interesting, and memorable tour. đâ

Reviews: Akaroa Full Day Sightseeing Tour from Christchurch
Guest User2024-03-28
Very nice! Akoroa was such a cute village and the stops along the way were pleasant surprises! Tasted and bought some cheese and had contracted for the lunch which was DELICIOUS! I had the salmon and my husband had the fish and chips. The crew on the boat were equally as helpful and got into some fun conversations with Ben who helped spot those dolphins and a few penguins.â

Reviews: Twilight Glowworm Kayak Tour â Lake Karapiro
Guest User2025-10-14
Sometimes the weather doesnât cooperate, so was it wet? Yes. Was it cold? Also yes. Was it atmospheric AF to drift in the river in the dark while the bioluminescent worms shine around you like a constellations of stars so close it feel you can touch them? Heck yeah. It was part planetarium, part Pandora in Avatar views in the dark with the blue lights of the glow worms twinkling around us. Even if it was cold and wet and hard to paddle in the wind (we really got unlucky with the weather there for a bit) how often can you say youâve kayaked around black swans in a river over what used to be a giant hydropower damn? Do it. Itâs pretty cool. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and kept us safe and have clear instructions and gave plenty of facts of those nerdy-inclined.â

Reviews: Whakarewarewa Village Guided Tour
Guest User2025-10-03
Fae was our tour guide and she was great! Really engaging and clearly loves what she does. The village was beautiful. We learnt so much about the history and how they used the springs to cook and bathe. We ate corn cobs cooked in the hot spring - they were surprisingly delicious. They hadnât been seasoned with anything (not even salt) so it seems that the minerals in the hot springs give it some lovely flavour. We didnât get to see the geyser erupt at its maximum force/height but it was still cool to see. The cafe has traditional meals cooked in the traditional way to pre-order or buy on the day (subject to availability) (appx NZ$25) or you can just buy a traditionally cooked chicken or beef pie (we got one of each - beef was so much nicer!) (appx NZ$9) (also subject to availability so buy before your tour and collect at the end) - We only bought the village tour but by the end of it, we really wanted to do the geothermal trail too so bought separately - Definitely recommend this!î„
