Roundhill Ski Area is a fantastic field. It's well run, nicely groomed, they have a great terrain park, and are always striving to improve what is already a fantastic field. The staff are always friendly. The road up is well maintained also. One of the excellent things about Roundhill, is they have a wee hut up the T Bar to the left, where you can purchase a beer - but dont forget your cash...there is no eftpos at the hut.
All and All a fantastic field that we will contuine to go to....

The driver/ guide was great. The amazing terraces we stopped at are a nice place to visit and we had plenty of time to walk around the geothermal area - quite beatiful - before jet boating back. Despite the weather (heavy rain all day), It was really a great day out.

What a fantastic experience. It was a great father-son thrill-seekers' day. Brilliant weather, with snow on the ranges, and the sea on the other side contributed to making this one of life's highlights. Made much better however, by Henk, Sarah and their crew, who were welcoming, great judges of who they were dealing with and thoroughly professional throughout. They were also very helpful assisting one of our party who was unwell at the time, going out of their way to assist us with a doctor's visit. I cannot say enough about this experience, this location and these operators. What a great outfit. Well done and thanks for the thrills. Will definitely do it again. Alan.

I spent a wonderful day with the Cougarline, starting with the very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable office staff. Going out on the boat was really cool. The captain told us all about the area as he took us to the trailhead and really seemed to love his job. The hike was amazing. I couldn't believe the color of the water, sky and trees. It was over too soon and the boat picked us up to go back to Picton Wharf. I would absolutely do this again!

I took the afternoon wine tour which consisted of two wineries and a side sightseeing trip to visit the west coast. My brother and I are novices when it comes to wine. John was very knowledgable when it came to wine and when it came to breaking it down for us. This experience is highly highly recommended. He was incredibly pleasant and trip in general was wonderful. I didn't know what to expect and am more than ecstatic that I booked this tour. It was well worth the money and more!

My husband and I had a fantastic time with Steve checking out the glow worms this weekend. The preparations and launch into the water were easy and streamlined, we didn't even have to get wet. The kayaking itself was absolutely enchanting as the light dimmed and the glow worms came out to shine. We will highly recommend this team and the glow worm trip to everyone we know!

This was an experience I was really looking forward to and one I wasn't disappointed with. Everything clicked into place - good weather, a flat calm sea, only three people on the boat and loads of birds. We saw seven species of albatross and had quite exceptional views of all of them. I've been on pelagics in Australia, South Africa and Peru but this was the best yet. I could have stayed out there all day!

I recently completed the 16 day amplified tour around NZ and it was an amazing experience. The group size was ideal. A much more friendly, personal experience than other larger tours I have been on. Our guide, Si, was a fountain of NZ knowlwdge and often took us to many 'off the beaten track' places that meant we had some great surprises along the way! He gave us loads of advice and pointedus in the right direction when we were looking to book activities etc which meant we all got the best out of the tour.
The company is very well organised and very helpful sorting out extras such as transport and accommodation before and after the tour.
I will definitely be recommending Haka tours to friends who are considering travelling around NZ. It is the best way to see a lot of such a beautiful country.

This was the most awesome day trip. We were on a cruise from the US to Australia via New Zealand and booked this as a shore excursion. The crew was excellent, the lunch was very good. We had so much fun and plan to book this trip again on our next visit to Bay of Islands.

We had a wonderful experience with Explore More. Unfortunately our van had "natural airconditioning" (bolt missing in the window which meant for some cold evenings) however this was not really their fault.
Had no problems with the car, the bedding package was a must.
Beds themselves not overly comfortable, but hey, its a budget camper, so cannot expect too much.
Drove 3500kms with no problems, very pleased indeed.
Amy from Christchurch was friendly, personable, helpful, what more could one ask for?! Wasnt pushing us and trying to upsell anything.
Was very very pleased :)
