Off Road NZ
The crew at Off Road NZ (Sam, Shane, Ian, Richard and Kevin) were great - they were very friendly and all have a good sense of humor but are professional, giving clear instructions and safety briefings
. This is a must do when visiting Rotorua - make sure you keep half a day free to experience the Ultimate Package which includes a self drive 4WD Bush Safari, Monster 4x4 ride, and Raceline Karting, You need to take your camera otherwise no one will believe the things you have to do during the 4WD Bush Safari. This isn't just for the boys!

Gannet Beach Adventures Cape Kidnappers Tractor Tours
This tour was the highlight of our weekend in the Hawke's Bay.
It was excellent value for money and a really fun day, our tour left 4.30pm and we got back at 9.00pm. The tractors are a unique way to travel out to the Cape and enabled us to get great views of the cliffs and coastline. The guys driving the tractor have a good sense of humor and provide interesting information along the way. The walk at the end to the Gannets was well worth it, it was amazing to see these beautiful birds and their chicks. I would highly recommend you do this trip if you are visiting the Hawke's Bay.

Driftwood Ecotours
This kayaking tour was the highlight of our weekend in Blenheim.
From the moment you meet him, you feel like Will is an old friend. He takes the time to get to know you and the whole tour is carried out at a nice relaxed pace. Will is very knowledgeable and provides you with interesting information about the surrounding area and bird life. Will knows how to provide the ultimate customer expierence, ensuring you are comfortable and safe at all times. The food was top notch and as stated on his website all home-made. The sunset we experienced was just magical and now, thanks to Will, we will always have a very special memory of our weekend in Blenheim. Of course we also have to acknowledge Will's wife Rose who was our welcoming committee upon our return, bringing us inside to sit by the fire and making us a cuppa. We mustn't forget Tommy the dog either, who was a lovely tour guide and a very good kayaker.
