We had such a great time on the Auckland Whale & Dolphin Watching tour! The guides were also marine biologists, which made the trip even more meaningful—we really appreciated their insights about the animals and how they track the chances of spotting dolphins and whales. We were lucky enough to see at least six whales that day, even though they didn’t get very close to the boat. The ride was a little choppy, but that’s just part of being out on the ocean. The tour itself was very well organized, and overall it was an awesome and memorable experience!

A very fun and enjoyable experience! The beauty of Waiheke Island and New Zealand's native plants is impressive, and the coaches leading the way are all friendly and lovely! However, I would like to remind everyone reading the reviews that if you want a pick-up, read the email carefully and arrive at the agreed location in advance 🥲. Because it's only written in the email, I only looked at the app and completely messed up the time. Fortunately, they contacted me by phone, but it cost me an extra 70 New Zealand dollars for a taxi. Also, ferry tickets can actually be purchased directly walk-in from the Auckland city center pier, or just use the AT HOP transport card. There is a ferry every hour, which is actually very convenient.

The Auckland Bridge Bungee was an absolute 10/10 experience and something I would recommend without hesitation. From start to finish, everything was well run and the staff made you feel confident and excited. The jump itself was unreal, with incredible views and an adrenaline rush that’s hard to beat. The bridge climb was also awesome and added even more to the experience, giving a unique perspective of Auckland and making the whole adventure feel extra special. Definitely a must do for anyone visiting or living in Auckland.

Our driver and guide, David, was very happy when we met him. I learned a lit of things and trivias about New Zealand as well as Auckland. He was very nice. The time for the tour was enough. Our guide within the Hobbiton, Kingston, was so funny! he was very effective as a guide.
