We asked Steve for a trip around the mountains and he delivered an awesome ride. Knowledgeable, helpful, flexible and friendly he took us to places not on our to do list as well. Enjoyed the day immensely.

When our car needed to go to the mechanics he took me to Taupo to pick up a rental. Steve responded to my text message within 10 mins and was there to pick me up within 20. Highly recommend.

Great place to visit to feel how nature is pure, soft, and also strong at the same time. An amazing photography spot.

Thank you for your review of our service, and we appreciate the time taken to write the review.
To add a little clarity for those reading the review, this booking was made outside of our normal business hours. That being said, in all honesty we did forget to pick up the client at the arranged time. We have apologized off platform and have amended our policy to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.

Steve was very friendly and punctual. As well he was very knowledgeable on the area and gave us some great tidbits! He is also very responsive to requests. He responded to our request for a ride from Turangi to Whakapapa almost immediately after we sent the inquiry through the website.
Would highly recommend and will definitely look for Steve coming back to the area!

Steve and his service was absolutely brilliant. He was very organised, on time, efficient and helpful in every way, giving us additional information about the area. He was extremely friendly and I really can’t fault his services at all. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

I arranged over email for Steve to provide transportation for me while I did the Tongariro crossing, weeks in advance. I ended up changing my plans but he was very accommodating. He was there waiting for me when my train arrived and drove me from National Park to Taupo. He’s very friendly and I learned some interesting things about the area as we chatted. He’s very reliable and I can highly recommend him!
