Fantastic experience! Very lucky to see whales, dolphins, seals, gulls and even small penguins. My whole family was so excited searching and catching glimpse of the whales but from a distance. Overall experience is great and would highly recommend but weather has to be good.

The stunning view of Queenstown from the Skyline Godonla was unbeatable. My 15-year-old son loved the luge so much that he tried 9 rides with a week. We truly had lots of fun there.

Our Hobbiton, Waitomo Caves, and Flexi Tours experience was absolutely amazing! Hobbiton truly felt like stepping into Middle-earth, with stunning scenery and incredible attention to detail. The glowworms in the Waitomo Caves were breathtaking, and our guide, Cuppa Tea, was informative, entertaining, and even treated us to a beautiful song. Bunty from Flexi Tours made our journey even more enjoyable with his friendly personality, fascinating insights about New Zealand, and a bonus stop at a beautiful hanging bridge. Our group of four felt safe, well looked after, and had an unforgettable trip. Highly recommend these experiences to anyone visiting New Zealand! 🇦🇺

The tour was very informative and the tour guides are organised with our itinerary. I booked it last minute as I’ve missed my tour scheduled on my first day In Auckland. It’s worth it anyway, Im glad I booked this tour :)

There's so much to see that it takes over three hours to watch the show and view the exhibits. However, the location of the Maori show was very difficult to find and hard to get to. The person at the reception desk didn't recognize the Klook voucher, and there was a small incident where we were held up at the Maori show entrance. Despite that, all the staff and guides inside the facility were very kind and constantly helped us.
