Having done this twice, we love it. They always seem to know where the dolphins are in the Bay of Islands, so we have seen lots of dolphins. The service and interpretive guiding on the boat is excellent. The beauty of the Bay of Islands is staggering and well worth the price of the tour. Getting to spend time on... More

We had high hopes for these folks, but they failed to deliver. Took two different trips with them, and they just don't do enough for the exorbitant prices they charge. Total rip-off, save your money and use the local bus companies or rent a car instead. We spent almost $1000 for two trips (2 people), and faced extremely rude bus... More

Because it was booked with our travel agent, we took several Great Sights tours when we were in New Zealand To be fair, Great Sights was always on time and the bus drivers were nice enough. However, the tour company is incredibly impersonal, the plans were always rushed, and essentially it felt like we were being corralled from site to... More

We took the Waitomo Cave express tour from Great Sights New Zealand from Auckland. We do NOT recommend this company. They were over an hour late picking us up from our hotel. They then took us to the hub for assignment to another bus to Waitomo. The driver was rude and yelled at us when we complained about the late... More

This trip had been pre-booked though our travel agent and basically included a bus trip from Queenstown to Milford, where we embarked on a boat trip for a couple of hours along the Sound and back. We were due to go back by bus, but there was a option to return by plane and although it was costly, it was... More
