Our family reserved the Skipper's Canyon Tour for an icy day in June. Our guide Jenny was kind, flexible and competent enough to improvise to meet our needs as warranted by the weather. After traversing some of the windong, icy roads safely with chains, and taking in the stunning scenery, we determined with Jenny's help that we desired to experience a bit of everything the area had to offer. And so we did! We witnessed many of the awe inspiring shooting locations for the Lord of Rings, accompanied by Jenny's impeccable narrative of associated details. We experienced the most exhilarating off-road drives and river crossings near Macetown, a gorgeous rainbow radiant drive up the Remarkables, a view of the AJ Hackett bungy jumping location along with the juicy details of the inception of this adventure trend, a cozy picnic along a lake with tea and cookies, etc. Best of all, thanks to Jenny, we received incredible insight into the local Maori culture and how well New Zealanders have integrated it into their everyday existence! This tour was the most amazing, immersive experience we could have asked for, at the price and for the time invested! We highly recommend Nomad tours and Jenny!
