Kaikoura Fishing Charters
We thought we were going on a fishing charter!
Whales, seals, dolphins and amazing Albatross. Oh and dont forget the fishing (as much as we could eat) and the Crayfish. Great friendly and helpful staff that did well to take us out with short notice. Thanks Guys for a great day and we rank this as one of the best trips of our holiday.

Okarito Kiwi Tours
This was an amazing experience of hearing calls and loud footsteps and then seeing a female and male kiwi run across in front of us, unaware of our presence.
This is a very professional event. Ian's passion and knowledge meant we not only saw Kiwi, but also learnt about them as well.Thanks very much for this Ian. This is not a standard tour it is more an experience.
Thanks for yet another great review, always great to see the 10/10 pop up and surprise me. February and March 2011 were two really tough months for me. The dynamics of the trips changed as we had a few territorial struggles going on.
April saw me getting the rewards for sticking to my plans. The trips have swung round and have become pretty easy ( as easy as seeing kiwi in the wild goes ! ) and my wife now expects me to be back from a trip before Coronation Street begins !
I am glad you enjoyed the kiwi tour, it's always great to see Australians out in the bush enjoying the safety of the bush at night. No snakes or big spiders here !

This is one of the best scenic flights we have done anywhere in the world.
We really cant say enough about the views. Well worth the money!

Doubtful Sound Overnight Cruise
Great staff and fantastic scenery.
The cruise is noisy with not much sleep with generators and a 6am wake up to make the next days schedule, meaning we didnt really get to appreciate the private room. This is a professional organisation but it is hard to avoid the feeling that you are part of a production line. Next time I would probably try a day trip with Real journeys or for a more personal feel one of the smaller companies.
