Absolutely great! Although I don't speak English, the tour guide was still able to make me understand the itinerary. The tour guide was excellent and very attentive. When we arrived at the place to see the seals, they asked us what we wanted to drink. The cola I wanted to drink was even ice-cold, which I couldn't have imagined. Highly recommended! 👍 They replied to emails very quickly. They replied less than 5 minutes after I sent it. Everyone involved in the process was very good. They brought warmth to my Wellington trip. Thank you for your service and I wish you good business. If I can come to New Zealand again in the future, I will definitely come again!!!
What an awesome experience, way more than we bargained for. Our guide Natalie was awesome, keeping us informed and entertained throughout. Seeing the seals (there would have been more than a 100) in their natural setting of rugged coast was such a treat. We also had other highlights such as the short walk through the native Otari Wilton , the spectacular scenery (we could even see the South Island). Thanks this was a most memorable experience.
We are thrilled! Top-notch! 10 out of 10! Our guide Mark is a real elf! And an incredibly cool guy. The seals are adorable.
An amazing view and an amazing guide! I didn't expect such a stunning journey. Our guide was truly professional and kind-hearted. She provided insightfull commentary throughout the trip while ensuring a safe drive. highly recommend.
Our tour guide was incredibly enthusiastic, taking us to Tongue Point, a spot very close to the sea lions. The itinerary was well-planned, and even though the road conditions weren't the smoothest, we felt completely at ease with our guide. You definitely shouldn't miss this!
The scenery is beautiful, and it's rare to see fur seals. It's a pity that there wasn't enough time; it would be great if the total trip time was longer. Since it's a rare opportunity to visit, I wouldn't mind paying a little more.
beautiful trip to see the seals! highly recommended
