Fun and informative

Published on Feb, 2025

Great guides! Amazing sense of humor and full of knowledge. Made the entire day fun and informative. So glad we booked this tour!

Wonderful

Published on Feb, 2025

Was very interesting and informative about the history and culture and fauna of the area. Would recommend.

Well worth it

Published on Dec, 2024

Would definitely recommend this tour when you first arrive in Auckland to get your bearings around this wonderful city. Whether it’s the city, rainforest or beach, this tour gives you a taste of NZ. Wayne was our first driver and he had a wealth of knowledge on the history and culture of NZ. His dad jokes were hilarious. For the second half of the day, which covers the rainforest & Piha Beach, we had Annie and Dustin as our guide and driver. They were just as sweet, warm and knowledgeable. They were passionate about the flora and fauna. It was a great introductory tour.

Good Experience
