Things to do in New Zealand

The Best Experience Ever!!! I did 12000ft with NZONE and the whole experience was so smooth. The crew was very nice and encouraging throughout. Amazing tandem masters. Definitely felt like once in a lifetime experience although I might do it again if I ever visit Queenstown :) Totally worth the money.

We participated in a tour departing Queenstown at 7:20 AM and arriving back in Queenstown at 8:00 PM. On the way there, we had a short break in Te Anau, and the guide also took us to Mirror Lakes and other photo spots. On the way back, we had another short break in Te Anau. We joined the 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM cruise and received a lunch box containing a sandwich, an apple, and cookies. The tour ran perfectly on schedule, and our guide provided many explanations. It was a very satisfying tour! The only downside was the weather.

the registration was smooth, even the boarding and off boarding. Watching the engine room was exciting. Farm tour and the tour guide was very informational. I was excited and enjoyed the most was feeding the animals, removing the sheep's hide, and watching kim (dog) hearding the sheeps. The tea (coffee, juice) and light snack were also sufficient and taste well. Overall the experience was exemplary. Great for solo, couples, and families with kids.

The provided equipment was quite comprehensive, the ground crew explained everything in great detail, and the helicopter was very new. Once we reached the glacier, our hiking guide, Hunter, was humorous and engaging, giving us a complete and enjoyable experience. Thank you to the entire team for their efforts!

The entire geothermal area has been very well preserved in its natural state, but it's actually a bit boring. Basically, you enter the park and then just walk around following the arrows, much like hiking. You read the informational signs as you go. Due to limited time, we didn't explore the entire area, only the orange route. Since we were with a small tour group, we couldn't cancel this part of the itinerary, so we had no choice but to buy tickets and enter. If I were driving myself, I probably wouldn't come here.

A very very very memorable experience! Must visit in New Zealand! The tour guides were very helpful and informative.

amazing experience, but all of NZ is naturally beautiful. the guides were well trained and helped to watch out for our safety while making this an interesting experience. I thought that more time could be given to explaining the history of the river.

Real value for money trip. Cal was great. Pick-up was on time, designated stops were well-thought of, and time allotted per stop was good. Our bus was new and had USB-type charging ports. The trip to Milford Sound was as good as the destination. We got a pie, an apple, chips, and a candy bar for lunch. Overall, really good deal. Do recommend.

This was my first stargazing tour, and it was even cheaper than the official website. The service was excellent; you don't have to worry about not having warm enough clothes, as they provide one-piece down jackets. It seemed like they had four or five sizes! The only downside was that we attended on the 15th day of the first lunar month, which was a full moon. This affected the stargazing, making it a bit less impressive than I had imagined. For the "Dark Sky Project," they transport you from the base of the mountain to the observatory reserve, where a specialist explains various astronomical phenomena. They also ask if anyone has questions about astronomy. If you're not familiar with the twelve planets and some specialized astronomical English terms, it might be a bit challenging to understand. However, they do offer an earlier session in Chinese. They also use the observatory's super-large stargazing telescope, which was my first time experiencing something like that, and I found it incredibly amazing and a rare opportunity! But if your visit falls around the new moon or full moon, I would advise against participating, as you might be disappointed.

New Zealand's unique kiwi birds can only be seen in specific sanctuaries, and this is one of the best locations. Since kiwis are nocturnal, the KIWI HOUSE is dark, and photography is not allowed, so you won't be able to capture any images. We recommend scheduling both the KIWI HOUSE experience and the animal show; 1-2 hours in between is enough time to see the entire park, and then you can enjoy a local honey drink.

freezing cold but got to see the stars, got hot chocolate and blankets, complementary red light, and photos with the Milky Way in the background. great tour by george with the telescopes and the much needed mashmellow campfire and heater. photos taken with iphone night mode.

We thought the road trip already had amazing reviews but it wasn’t until we went on the cruise we knew there is a much better view on the ocean! There are many different cruise companies and the Pure Milford boat is definitely the better looking boat out of the lot! So we were happy with that. Tip - best seats are at the lower deck and at the front of the boat! Also loved the commentary during the cruise and also get complimentary tea, coffee, hot choco etc. Milford rains about 250 days in a year and we were very lucky to get a sunny day. So definitely bring a warm jacket, sunnies, beanie and maybe a raincoat. Thank you again for the amazing cruise!
