Enjoyed the beautiful trip out to the west coast. Saw the black sand beach and some absolutely stunning views along the coast at a couple of viewpoints. Stopped for lunch at a terrific little place in Swenson. Went to a nesting spot for the gannets which was a surprise stop since this is the time of the year for them to nest before moving on to Australia. It was a wonderful day trip and would definitely do it again!

Nancy was our driver/tour guide she was an excellent driver, tour guide, and she was also caring about each passenger. She’s very knowledgeable and we enjoyed her sense of humor. She’s engaged with each passenger and we felt part of her little family for the day. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and felt we had seen enough to get a great idea of the area.

Jason, our tour guide, was fabulous. We were to have been on a group tour but got a private instead (THANK YOU). Scenic drive to Piha was beautiful. The black sand beach and Lion Rock were so amazing and serene. Next stop was Karekare waterfall. Total must see experience. Incredibly wonderful day!!! Thank you ….

Incredible trip! We needed an accessible tour for my daughter as she uses a folding wheelchair. Peter did an awesome job adjusting the trip to accommodate her and made the trip a very relaxing and informative experience. Sculptureum was better than expected and the views in the area were amazing. We highly recommend this tour company!

John was the perfect tour guide. Because we got an early start our first scheduled stop was not yet open so John took us to Omaha beach, which was absolutely beautiful just after sunrise. He shared stories of his family time at the beach, which made it much more enjoyable. He then took us to a coffee shop before we were taken to a chocolate shop where we were able to sample and purchase boutique chocolates. Our visit to the Sculptarium was much more enjoyable than I expected. The setting for the sculptures was visually stunning and the signs accompanying the sculptures were very helpful to this non-artistic viewer. When John heard us saying how we enjoy souvenir shopping he added an unscheduled stop at a small marketplace for approximately 30 minutes where we were able to purchase some lovely souvenirs. Our next stop was a winery, but the one we were scheduled to visit was closed on that day (this should have been known at booking but for some reason obviously it was not). John immediately got on the phone and found a substitute vineyard where we were able to have our wine tasting and sit in a café overlooking a lovely lily pond while we sipped a purchased glass of wine along with canapés and chocolates (also our purchase). Throughout the day John gave wonderful commentary on the country and countryside as well as answering all questions. We learned so much from him. It was a truly enjoyable and wonderful experience.
