Amazing

Published on Feb, 2025

One of the best tours we have had in New Zealand. We learnt so much about wildlife and native vegetation. Micheal was a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and patient guide answering questions patiently and with good humour. We got to see bell birds, weta, weka, geckos and the views from the top of the island were stunning. I really liked that the eco in the name is earned in that not only is a tree planted each tour but the staff do conservation work on the island too.

An excellent tour, one of the best!

The instructions for confirming our tour and finding the meeting point were very clear. Our skipper and guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his job. The island walk was absolutely fantastic; we learnt a lot about the history of the island, the plants and trees and the wildlife. I would highly recommend this tour.

Fabulous tour

We absolutely loved the trip, Craig was knowledgeable, funny and very helpful. One of the best tours we have done this holiday.

Fantastic

Published on Feb, 2025

Absolutely fantastic trip. We enjoyed it so much. Right from the off we started to learn so much about the area and its nature. Guide was so knowledgable. Definitely would recommend. The tree planting was an awesome extra! You can definitely do the trip shorter and cheaper but you will miss out on so much.

Fun interest cruise & nature walk

Published on Feb, 2025

Great enjoyable trip starting with a boat cruise over to the Mou Waho island where we had a nature walk to the top. Our guide, Michael, was great with lots of interesting information. Walk steep in parts but easy pace and well worth the views.
