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.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.

    Mark was so fantastic! He was knowledgeable, gave great recommendations, and was super skilled. Although it was a little chilly, the experience was 100% worth it. I would go on this tour again if given the chance!

    A last minute booking that was so worth it.

    Lovely relaxed crossing, facilities excellent, guides fabulous.

    And an impromptu bottle of Verve Clique to add the sparkle.

    Highly recommend and NO age bias at all.

    Excellent way to spend an afternoon on the Lake and we lucked out with gorgeous weather. Super relaxing, comfortable, and informative. Carvings are way cool and swimming under the boat was a highlight. Would highly recommend!

    Sharma provided us an incredible day full of beautiful sights, great food suggestions and information about the areas we visited. Couldn’t have had a better day - and the photo journal he provided at the end of the tour gave us an awesome recap of our day! Five stars for sure!

    Fantastic experience hiring 2 boards for 4 hours. Customer service was outstanding and went over and above when is normal or necessary. Great tips on where to go due to current weather conditions. Would totally recommend this company.

    Really wonderful experience especially if you’re interested in geology and looking to see a lot in a short visit! Loved the wai-o-tapu geothermal park. Definitely the highlight of the tour. Karthik was very knowledgeable and answered all of our qaurstuons!

    Karthik was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and considerate throughout the day. He really made us feel comfortable, making this tour the best we’ve had in New Zealand so far. Don’t hesitate to book his tours. We highly recommend him !

    Great tour with fun people.
    Enjoyed all the stops, my favourite north island parts were Glow-worms and Toronagiro Crossing.

    The staff worked with me to plan the perfect activities and hotels for us, based upon our interests and physical abilities. Our guide/driver was very pleasant, and took great care of us. It was so nice not to have to worry about anything! Everything was so well organized!

    I didn't want to drive on the New Zealand roads, and ExperienceKart made our dream of visiting New Zealand a reality!
