Loved all the stops, however I hoped we would have more time in Franz Josef. Maybe worthwhile looking at going in more of a circular trip, rather than zig zagging down both islands.
Our guide cowboy was super helpful. Always had great suggestions of the best places to go, so we could maximise our time at each stop.
The tour was well done and I had a great tour. I did notice it wasn’t as longer as the trip I planned to do before Covid. I noticed compared to my previous trips there wasn’t as much included in the itinerary but I loved that our tour guide took us to some awesome places when activities were cancelled due to wet weather. I had a great time it’s just next time I would like less free days.
Our guide/driver Guy was extremely welcoming, funny, knowledgeable and kindhearted. Alongside him were some amazing people I got to meet and experience the beauty of New Zealand with. The freedom and ability to do certain activities or have free time while having accomodation and transport sorted made the trip so much more enjoyable.
