Farewell Spit
A really amazing trip. Great commentary by a very knowledgable driver/guide. So much history, plant, bird and animal life. A trip I could easily do again.

Pristine Farewell Spit
We had a lovely day. We enjoyed seeing a part of NZ in its natural state, a variety of bird life and even seals. The views were amazing.

Well worth doing
This is an amazing trip. Well worth doing. Office lady is really obliging and they are well organised. At times the commentary was a bit "over the top" and driver passionate about her person ideals which isnt for everyone.
