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.

We took the Pancake Rocks tour. Efficient booking service and prompt answers to questions in connection with booking. Excellent commentary on local history etc. Looked after all members of the party very well and researched information when we had questions on, e.g., local plants, and provided us with answers. Would definitely book again with Rachel! A most enjoyable tour.

Rachel drove us from Franz Josef to Greymouth to catch the TranzAlpine. It was a great drive with a break in Hokitika, where we managed to see a kiwi at the Kiwi Centre. Rachel was welcoming and informative about sights along the way and made sure we arrived in plenty of time for the train.

Hokitika isn't the easiest place to explore if you can't drive, so I was really happy to find out about this company. Rachel took me out to Hokitika Gorge and explained all about the area along the way. She also does bespoke tours, including to places like Franz-Josef. I want to go on a tour with her again!

It was nice to have someone drive us to the Hokitika Gorge and talk about the area and history. He took us to places where we could get great photographs.

I booked two tours with Rachel, on arrival into Hokitika we were met at the rail station and taken up to Punakaiki to see the Pancake Rocks. Rachel and her team provided great information about the area and the rock formations and we weren't rushed at all, and the vans were comfortable for the drive.
The following day we did the Hokitika Gorge and Tree Tops tour. These were both great attractions. There were a few stories about the local area as well that were very interesting. The Gorge was amazing and an absolute must see if you are in the area, the water is just stunning and it is a very pleasant walk around the loop, with lookouts and bridges, great photos to be had. Tree tops was also a pleasant surprise with great views. Rachel got us all back to the rail station in plenty of time to catch our train back to Christchurch. Rachel and her team were perfect hosts, this is the way to see the area if you arrive by train and don't want to hire a car or want a more relaxed and personal experience, and to learn more about the area first hand.

I spent such a great time visiting Hokitika Gorge and Pancakes Rocks during Eastern long weekend! Not only for the wonderful places, but also for the amazing experience to meet Rachel. She kindly shared with me her knowledge, love and respect for the nature and more about her amazing culture. Thank you Rachel for showing me kindly these great places worth to visit and your company.
I recommend this trip with Rachel 100 percent. Her comfortable vehicle and a great local knowledge of the area means I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her tour company to any traveller wanting a bespoke tour experience. A complete service as she picked me up from the Train Station in Greymouth and drop me in the night time to my hotel in Lake Brunner.
Thank you Rachel!

We went for a tour today to Hokitika Gorge and The Treetop walkway and it was such a lovely morning well spent! Although wet weather, we made the most of the experience and appreciated the west even more! Rachel was absolutely fantastic as a tour guide and has great knowledge of Hokitika history! She even came prepared with Ponchos which provided the friends with much needed rain cover
Thanks again Rachel! We’ll be in touch to book another tour with you on our next visit!

Great tour company, really friendly and helpful in arranging transport out to Arahura river. Especially understanding when my other tour was longer than expected and I missed the first pickup time. They arranged a second pick up time and never made me feel bad about it. Very professional and great chats in the car with the drivers, throughly recommend to all travellers.

We only had one day in Hokitika and so called Scenic Tours on the off chance of a tour around the Tree tops walk. Rachel came to our rescue and provided a fantastic tour of both the tree tops Walk and a visit to Lake Mahinapua. We really appreciated her knowledge of the birds etc and especially the local knowledge of the history of the area. She could not have been more accommodating and we would thoroughly recommend her and the company. Many thanks and we hope to bring family back to see it all again.
