Highly recommend

Lyndon was an excellent tour guide, weaving together Maori culture, New Zealand history, and great personality while showing us wildlife and plant life. We were able to see fur seals, penguins, albatross, dolphins, many other bird species, and learn about some important plants. I would highly recommend this tour!

Super boys

Both boys are super nice. They made us a wonderful and memorable holiday experience in Dunedin. The picnic lunch is also a nightlight. Highly recommend to everyone!

Einzigartig

Dieser Tagesausflug war dank beider Guides der perfekte Mix aus Kultur, Pflanzenkunde und Tierbeobachtung. Das liebevoll hergerichtete Picknick an der Wald Lichtung schmeckte hervorragend. Überrascht wurde ich zudem mit Cupecakes zum Geburtstag.
