Traveler Reviews

Jojo, our guide/driver, was awesome. I would not want to drive in NZ!! She was a rock star!

The hot water beach was fun, so interesting how one hole could give you cold water, one could give you hot water and another could give you boiling water!

The Cathedral Cove walk is beautiful, but be warned....lots of inclines, so you do need to be in shape. Worth every incline to see the beautiful cove.

The last stop, Mt. Peku was also an interesting climb, make sure you have good shoes and are able to maneuver the steps and rocks. The view is SO WORTH the climb.

Totally enjoyed the day, the other folks on the tour were friendly and the 11 guests became friends through out the day.

Do this tour, you will not regret it!!

Well planned and excellent guide! Jojo is very knowledgeable and such a kind person! She made us laugh so much and made the whole trip more enjoyable!

We did a day trip with kiwidaytrips.com with Clay, who was our driver, host and best ever tour guide! It was a brilliant day and i couldn't reccomend it highly enough. Anyone going to Auckland should do it. Just be aware though, that if you are planning on getting a watertaxi back from Cathedral Cove instead of returning by foot, especially in peak holiday season, that you need to book the watertaxi. If you don't, you may have a long wait which could be problematic if you are meeting up with a tour group. Thanks Clay Elgar for making it a very special day

Total fun on a tour of hot water beach, cathedral cove and ?peka? mountain. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and lots of fun. Come ready for a moderately strenuous hike if you do the cove
