Queenstown Ziptrek: 6 tree-to-tree ziplines through native forest, guided 3 hours from Bob's Peak, with a 70 kph final run.
“Liv and Jaime(I think that’s how you spell it were fantastic. Very knowledgeable, fun, and funny. You’ll have an amazing time!”
Fox Glacier heli-hike with two flights and up to 3 hours on ice caves and arches. Gear and guide included, 4 hours.
“Really enjoyed the experience. I was lucky to be in the front seat so had excellent views on the flight. Lovely features to explore on the ice and great equipment provided. Would have been nice to cover a bit more ground up there - not really a ‘hike’ - but a really cool experience in every way!”
3-hour Tasman Glacier heli-hike from Mount Cook: two scenic flights, up to 2 hours on the ice, Aoraki views, small groups.
“Knowledgeable guide who made us feel safe throughout the trip. Fantastic pilots who pointed out beautiful landmarks”
Heli onto the Tasman Glacier from Mount Cook for a 2-hour guided hike, then fly home near the Hochstetter Icefall.
“Highly enjoyable, brand new experience walking on a safe section of glacier, professional service from start to finish, you know you’re in good hands, our guide Maddie took good care of everyone every step of the way, even the heli pilots had tonnes of information to share en route, this is a must do!”
A 3-hour Wellington highlights tour with cruise pickup, a cable car ride, key photo stops, and classic sights like the Beehive Parliament and Mt Victoria.
“A great quick overview of Wellington along with a bit of history and lore. Exactly what we were seeking for orienting on our first day of a 5-day stay.”
Cruise Lake Te Anau on historic Faith, enjoy a guided Hidden Lakes walk in Fiordland, then relax with canapés and drinks.
“We loved this cruise - beautiful heritage boat with lots of history, we were looked after very well by Captain Adam and First Mate Nina. A pleasant way to cruise calmly about the lake, experience the flora and fauna with Nina. We enjoyed the complimentary drinks and canapés while sailing back. Guests enjoyed being included in the running of the boat. Highly recommend.”
Join a 3-hour Wellington walking food tour with Māori flavors, craft beer, cheese, chocolate, coffee, and local stories.
“Rebecca was phenomenal. She was not only knowledgeable about the food scene, but also the history, and culture of New Zealand and the Māori people. She truly went above and beyond, even letting us stop to buy gifts, and walking us to the trolley so we wouldn’t get lost. Our bellies were full with Māori cuisine, cheese scones with Pastrami and pickles, white fish and chips, Wellington chocolates, fantastic spicy Chinese dumplings cheese, dried lamb and delicious craft beer. 😋”
