Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A great alternative to a long drive around to Whangarei Heads is to cross by boat from Marsden Point to Reotahi. We walked around to Urquhart Bay then hiked over to Smugglers Bay & stayed the night at Peach Cove, the next day taking the Te Whara track out to Ocean Beach where we were picked up by the Trail Drop shuttle to get back to Reotahi. What a great service - seamless, informed, on time!

Travelling by myself it was reassuring when a female driver picked me up. Hannah was super friendly and knew her stuff when it came to beautiful walks and good coffee in town. The van was immaculate and even with the windy roads to the trails I didn’t get car sick! I felt in totally capable hands. Hannah gave me good insight to tracks to enjoy and some of the indigenous folklore of some of the mountains. She really knows her stuff! The walks are amazing and stunning. Trail Drop were there waiting after my walks on time and dropped me back to the Bnb I’m staying at. Highly recommend!!

Our experience with Trail Drop was fantastic. We were running late and Hannah waited for us and was completely understanding. The van was clean and comfortable and Hannah gave us an overview of the area and the upcoming trek. She answered all our questions knowledgeably and with with the experience of hiker. She advised us on the best path and what to avoid as well as her favorite highlights of the track. At the end of the track the van was completely on time. And, due to heavy rain, Hannah gave us a ride back to our campervan park. I couldn't be happier with the service and I recommend this to anyone else in Whangarei looking for hiking transportation

Trail drop was the perfect way to get out to the beautiful Te Whara walking track. The service was not only timely and professional but we got some excellent hiking tips and talked about local culture. I would definitely reccomend trail drop to anyone looking to explore New Zealand.
