Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony
Great experience!
Saw something like 150 penguins come ashore. It's pretty cool to watch them head to their homes where their families are waiting anxiously. Be careful when you're driving off, there were penguins stumbling around everywhere... pretty entertaining in itself. Well worth the money.

Rapids Jet
Very cool experience.
It was interesting how this place works. The rides are completely dependent on the release of the water every three hours from the Aratiatia Dam. It was crazy parking in front of boulders and watching the water rise. I couldn't believe the rapids we were taking the boat through... we were getting airborne... the pics didn't lie. The pilot was very competent and made us feel at ease. Get the picture cd... well worth it. NIce job guys... thanks a bunch.

Waitomo Adventures Ltd
We did The Lost World adventure...
it was great! The 100m abseil was great... beautiful views when you're on the ropes. Our guide, Jimmy, was very knowledgeable about the caves and its' inhabitants (eel, glowworms, weta)... he was like our own biologist. Thanks a bunch Jimmy! We never felt rushed, and the experience was very personal. I highly recommend this company.

AJ Hackett Nevis Bungy
What a blast!
The amount of freefall you get here is ridiculous... great ground rush. The crew made us feel very safe and knew what they were doing. If you're gonna do one bungy jump in NZ, this is the one! We also did the Nevis Arc swing. My girlfriend and I did a tandem with her sitting in my lap. Good fun... it'll make you laugh.

River Rats Rafting
Did the Kaituna with these guys.
Very competent, laid back guides... the entire crew was great. Rapids were a blast... made it without flipping. I couldn't believe the size of the waterfall... it's huge. Pics came out amazing. Would recommend these guys if you're rafting in the area. Thanks a bunch!

Milford Sound Day Cruises
We did the Nature Cruise.
It was great! It wasn't crowded at all, which meant you always found a place to take nice photos. We saw a pod of dolphins that came up to our boat and swam in front of it for a while. The captain and the guide were great with the info... they were very knowledgeable and threw quite a bit of humor into their commentary... made it fun. I would recommend the nature cruise over the scenic... the scenic looked pretty crowded and was a much larger boat. The nature cruise was much more personal. Great company... would highly recommend.

Tasman Sky Adventures
Great experience!
Did the microlight flight over Abel Tasman. Great way to see the sights... being out in the elements. Everybody was super friendly and you could tell the pilot enjoyed his job. Definitely worth it and would highly recommend.

Glacier Country Helicopters
We did the Mt.
Cook spectacular. The views were amazing. The snow landing was a lot of fun... had a snowball fight up there... our pilot, Nathan, even joined in. We had plenty of time for pics during the landing and it never seemed rushed. Would highly recommend this company... great people and very knowledgeable. Worth every penny!

Dolphin Encounter Kaikoura
Incredible Experience!
We did the dolphin swim and all I can say is that it was amazing. The boat and equipment was in perfect condition... no worries there. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I was extremely impressed with how much they care about the dolphins and the environment. On the way in, the Captain did a u-turn to pick up some trash in the water. We swam with heaps of dolphins... there must have been hundreds. We got three swims in... I don't know how long each one was as I was too busy with the dolphins. I would say that if traveling to NZ, do not pass up this opportunity. It was well worth every penny and truly an amazing experience.

Discover NZ Motorhome Rentals
Our experience with Discover NZ motorhomes completely exceeded our expectations.
We rented the 2 berth deluxe with shower and toilet for a total of 22 days. Eddie picked us up at our hotel in Auckland and drove us to a nice secluded area next to the on ramp to the motorway. This made the driving experience a lot less stressful, being the first time we had driven on this side of the road and vehicle. Everything was explained in full and all of our questions were answered. Thanks a bunch Eddie. The motorhome was stocked with everything we needed for our travels and was near new. It was extremely easy to drive and had more than enough power... it even accelerated up huge hills. The bed was very comfortable and spacious enough for the two of us. We were able to freedom camp very easily (a lot of the DOC sites on the South Island were basic with no facilities) and the toilet and shower came in handy in these areas. We dropped the motorhome off in Christchurch and were given a ride to our hotel in downtown by a very nice gentleman who was very knowledgeable about the city. Thanks to these guys, It was an easy and worry free holiday which is exactly what you want when you're traveling. I will recommend Discover NZ to everyone considering traveling to NZ. Thanks a bunch for an incredible experience... it is much appreciated.
