Rafting New Zealand
I was disappointed with Rafting New Zealand after reading all of these great reviews.
We did a Grade 3 trip in January and found that the team didn't really gel together and it all seemed a bit routine like. Our guide appeared a bit weary for the morning trip and had limited knowledge about the area when pressed with questions. What saved the experience were the rapids and the gorgeous weather. We had a group of about 30 people (so very big!) and the excitement level after rafting appeared average. We ate our hotdog and walked away without viewing the photos. Unfortunately not a memorable experience and wished we had gone with the smaller company down the road for a more personalised experience. Might have just been a bad day for the team in a busy holiday period.

Wilderness Motorhomes
We hired a Wilderness basejumper 2 for 4 weeks, travelling on both the south and north islands.
I would definitely recommend Wilderness Motorhomes for their customer service, their help with planning our trip and also for those added extras that the other companies charge you for. It was a great introduction to NZ. The vehicle was well laid out inside and the kitchen and portable bbq was fantastic. It was great having everything included in the price, the vehicle came with everything that we needed and the team at Wilderness were extremely helpful and went the extra mile.

Truly amazing experience paddling on Christmas day 2011 with Skirts our guide who definitely made the trip memorable along with some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
We spent 4 weeks in NZ and this was the highlight.
