We then went to an Albatross breeding area, and saw many of them flying... More

The best and most professional private tour we had in New Zealand. We were three couples off a cruise ship, and we enjoyed everything about the day. Mark was super-organized, even ordering our lunches ahead, which allowed us to get in so many sights and activities. He was very knowledgable and provided constant interesting information. Recommend this tour company very... More

We booked this independently from our ship tours and were not disappointed. We were traveling with another couple on this vacation and all of us were impressed with Mark. We had the flexibility to do what we wanted and when... More

We booked online ahead of our cruise, and we were very glad to have chosen Awesome Tours over the ship's excursions. Mark Dixon, the owner, met us promptly at the dock in an immaculate and comfortable van. As we were the only clients of the day, it ended up being a private tour. Mark was quite flexible in setting up... More
