I loved Hobbiton. It was an absolutely magical experience, larger than expected and so much detail. Our guide was exceptional.

Great food and service beautiful sunset wonderful Evening. This tour has gone from great to excellent

Claire ,our guide was super enthusiastic and we quite enjoyed her commentary with a bit of humour too.Worth the guided walking tour and an hour well spend .

Highly recommend!Beautiful experience though out. Kids and my love it We will be going again.

We had the most spectacular flight and cruise to Milford Sound. We were very fortunate to have perfect weather. Our pilot Lily was professional, informative and lovely. Highly recommended this tour.

We learned a lot about the Opera House. The tour was just the right amount of time and our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable!!

We had an amazing flight with Daniel today! He was friendly, professional and made us feel very safe and comfortable throughout the whole journey. He also pointed out the different landmarks along the way and shared some interesting information, which made the incredible views even more enjoyable. The flight was smooth and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Daniel was a fantastic pilot and made this one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend Daniel and True South Flights!

2 hour cruise…Fantastic experience, recommend to anyone thinking of doing a Gorge cruise. My only suggestion would be to make aware of the getting on and off the boats and the steps and walks between the two prior to ..not a problem for us but there was some Elderly on our tour…

It is sometimes hard to decide which company to pick when you look online. I am so glad I picked this boat because it is not too big like the others but has plenty of space, you do the same route and it feels authentic. On top of doing the usual route we had the chance to swim in the lake (very refreshing but so amazing). You have plenty of commentaries and we had lovely Sacha taking care of us serving food, drinks and taking photos. My only little criticism is that they served Australian cookies! If you want to take a cruise on take Taupo take this boat!

Excellent experience with plenty of crocs and other wildlife. Dennis provided informative, educational and entertaining commentary throughout the trip. Outstanding, thanks.

Great! Knowledgeable guide(Mark) with good sense of humour. Sensible. Ecologically sound. Saw 5 crocs in 1 hour. Safe fun tour

Amazing views of Auckland & the harbour. Lots of staff to help & guide the experience. Enjoy a coffee or cocktail high above the city.

This was a lovely trip on the Ernest Kemp out to see the Maori Rock Carvings. The staff were lovely. The boat was comfortable, morning tea (biscuits and a hot drink) was provided, the commentary was informative and light-hearted, the journey safe and very enjoyable and the Maori Rock Carvings were splendid.

I rarely take the time to leave a review but I had such a great experience on this tour! I swear we had the best boat and guide on the water- wasn’t too crowded, took extra time to see birds and snakes as well as the crocodiles and I learned a lot! I highly recommend going with Solar Whisper!

Wonderful experience. Beautiful scenery. Interesting place to visit Lady Knox Gyser is awesome. Highly recommend.

Parker 1 (the dive instructor) is great. See at 120. Listen to Peter Fedichev. Love, Parker 2
