224 places sorted by featured
- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
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.

- Patricia ACainta, Rizal, Philippines20 contributionsThis tour was amazing, we felt very taken care of. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and set our expectations of the day very clearly. We had ample access to water and snacks throughout the day. Great tour! Worth the trip, for sureWritten 2 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- L SDunedin, New Zealand4 contributionsPete was a great guide. He made it so easy by giving great commentary while taking us to the best spots. The cruise was an additional highlight!Written 6 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Climber451407718701 contributionIt was a great trip, and Pete was a wonderful guide and driver. The views were spectacular and the sheep farm was an interesting stop. Pete had great stories to tell and was very knowledgeable about everything we saw.Written 28 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Natalie BLondon, UK3 contributionsWe had the absolute best time on today’s trip with Stew, Hannah and Buster. We saw four pods of dolphins playing around the catamaran, with Buster happily helping us find them round the boat with an excited tail wag. We saw seals and cormorants too.
Stew was super knowledgeable and engaging about the wildlife, history, local economy and geology of the harbour, a fascinating and funny description throughout.
Stew and Hannah were also kind enough to accommodate for my booking request, begging for Buster to be that day’s Dolphin Dog as I was missing my Schnauzer back in London!!
We can not recommend this tour enough (and the baking was yum too)!

Tania was an excellent guide, lots of fun and gave us lots of information about the area.
We originally booked on the tour without a lunch - which was then unavailable after we had booked, so not ideal but moved onto the tour with a lunch. Unfortunately, the lunch platter wasn’t really our thing so was disappointed that we had to pay more for something we didn’t actually want, just to be able to do the wine tour.Written 30 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BelindaJTRockhampton, Australia10 contributionsFantastic day from start to finish. Loved the bakery stop to buy breakfast, there were two walks or one hike on offer at Mt Cook. Even though the weather was ordinary I loved driving through the changing landscapes of New Zealand and can’t wait to go back to Mt Cook when the weather is clear!Written 20 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bktx1Texas646 contributionsIt was actually quite fun. Beautiful vista up there. You can see Mt Hutt and the beach. The cafe was quite good with very good prices as was the souvenir shop. We walked the crater rim trail.Written 20 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Jessie H6 contributionsA great tour of Christchurch in a comfortable van with a very guide, Pete. Experiencing punting on the river, the tram and the gondola. A very tasty and relaxing tapas lunch. Great way to hear the history of Christchurch thanks Pete we had a great time.Written 5 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- gerardmW7699SYBunbury, Australia105 contributionsWhat a great way to finish our 12 day trip around the South Island. We did the scenic plus and enjoyed the food, wine and fantastic scenery all without having to worry about driving in the tight winding NZ roads… a welcome change.Written 2 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Fiona T1 contributionA picturesque and informative day, our driver had a superb knowledge of the areas we visited. He was clear with communication from site features to rest stops. Having a tour with the option to include the train for part of the journey was perfect for us, and being picked up at the station and taken back to our hotels was appreciated at the end of a big day of walking.Written 29 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul SNew York City, NY3 contributionsI only had limited time in Christchurch. Our scheduled day trip to Mt. Sunday (Edoras filming location) was canceled due to extreme weather conditions. Our driver, Cheryl, volunteered to take us the following day even though they hadn't planned to do a tour then. Our tour was amazing! Cheryl is a great and knowledgeable guide and the scenery is stunning. It was an incredible trip and I'm so thankful they worked to make it happen for us. I highly recommend this tour whether you're a fan of the Lord of the Rings or not! Thank you for an awesome trip!Written 4 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
