Don’t think about it, JUST DO IT ! The guides Jason & Isaac were so humble, knowledgeable and accommodating. 100% recommend the tour, can’t wait for the South Island Tour ! Let’s goooo
Fantastic experience and worth every cent. Jason has very in depth knowledge on all the spots and will take you to a number of different locations you probably wouldn’t normally go to. Thoroughly recommend it for anyone considering it!
Amazing experience! I was hesitant at first and nervous to go on my own but I don’t regret it for a second. I’ve met some awesome people and created unforgettable memories. Would definitely do this again in a heartbeat!
