“Left wanting more....”

Reviewed 29 April 2013

I don't know why I feel so ambivalent about this trip. We have done so many amazing tours in New Zealand, so I think I have set a pretty high bar. I have to admit that the cost has something to do with that. It was the most expensive tour that we did and we've pretty well done them all.... More

“Best Money I spent on whole holiday”

Reviewed 9 April 2013

This trip was an unexpected delight. We wanted to do a cave and glow-worm trip some where but this trip turned out to be so much more. It suited our group as we could choose what we wanted to do as we went. A couple of us missed out the zipline but I did it and it is a must... More

“One of the top things on our trip”

Reviewed 7 April 2013

This was a trip with a whole variety of things included in it so was good value for money, the caves, glow-worms, tubing, a thrilling zipline and some of us did a cliff jump. When we arrived they told us that the water was low but we still decided to do it anyway. I'm glad we did as it was... More

“Very Dissapointing/Not as advertised”

Reviewed 23 March 2013

The first time coming to NZ and my girlfriend could not stop telling me that caving was a must do. So obviously this was not something that we were going to miss and were happy to pay beyond our pockets for a good experience. You would think for the price we payed, we were on the ball.......but clearly proven wrong!... More

“A good value for money, fun tour in an amazing place”

Reviewed 26 January 2013

We were well looked after and had a really fun time with Jono and Tim. We opted to upgrade to the zipline which was really fun. The river tubing was a bit scary at first but once we got going I became more confident with it and it was really good too. The glow worm display was awesome. Some people... More

The host Paul was very welcoming and our guide Pete was experienced and lots of fun. From choosing all our gear to getting onto the rive to raft, we were looked after. We upgraded to the ziplining on the day and it was well worth it. Although the water was a bit shallow at the time, we still had lots... More

Thanks for your review and thanks for choosing to do a tour with us. Your comments about the water level were helpful to us.
