“Great day out from chch Love the ships, go at low tide to really appreciate them up close”

“A stunning day on akaroa harbor. The boat was very comfortable the staff very welcoming. Great commentary on the area and lots of time to watch dolphins. We even got to head out of the harbor to scenery nook as the weather was perfect. Overall an incredible day.”

“Willowbank Wildlife Reserve is absolutely amazing, a perfect mix of native, farm, and exotic animals. The kiwi enclosure was the highlight for me, peaceful, natural, and the closest I’ve ever been to seeing a kiwi up close! The staff are super friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly care deeply about conservation. The grounds are clean and easy to walk through, with beautiful native bush and photo spots everywhere. Feeding the eels and lemurs was such a fun surprise. Great for all ages, and only a short drive from the city or airport. Definitely one of Christchurch’s must-visit attractions!”

“Great ride up the Waimakariri with Andy. We all enjoyed the trip, it is great for children. Recommended trip if you are visiting Christchurch and want to see the surrounding environs.”

“I’ve just returned to Canada after an absolutely stupendous trip to the Kimberley region of Western Australia aboard the Heritage Adventurer. Everything from booking the trip to exiting the ship on our last day was first class and run like a well-oiled machine. The guides were informed, interesting, interested, enthusiastic, friendly, and made us guests feel like we were part of the ship family. Every day I wondered how they could top the daily activities, and the next day was another mind-blowing experience. The daily recaps were well-presented and always so interesting. We always knew what was coming up next - everything was very well organized. The camaraderie amongst the guides was obvious and that translated into a truly remarkable experience for me and the many other guests I met and befriended on board. The ship crew were always smiling and quickly learned our names and preferences. To a person, they were delightful and couldn’t have done more to ensure a fabulous experience for all. Great staff, lovely ship and absolutely amazing daily experiences. Wildlife, stunning landscapes, ancient art sites, and guides who explain in detail what we are seeing whether it’s insects, birds, rocks, whales, crocodiles, plants, fish and so much more. I came away with a much deeper appreciation for nature and how we humans are affected by and have an effect on nature. The cruise was ten days, but it felt like I had a month worth of experiences. I’d jump at the chance to explore any place with this company. I’m now hooked on the small ship cruise experience! Thank you Heritage Expeditions!”

“1st time coming here today with my partner. It was sooo much fun. Highly recommend going. Staff are friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back again.”

“We are group of 16, 9A and 7C. Emma Rose Trent are the most professional patient fun guides we can ask for! We had absolutely blast!!!!!! The bonfire on the riverside and kayaking along the glow worms were beyond our expectation. Definitely recommend!”

“This is a great nature walk for people of all ages and great for dog owners except those who don't adhere to the rules by letting there dogs of the leash which I saw today while walking my dog it only takes one incident of an attack of any kind and legislation will bank dogs from entering the park there are plenty of signs informing dog owners that dogs must be on a leash at all times while in the park and for those few who ignore this simple rule jeopardize the park for the rest of us dog owners who use the place to exercise our pets thanks lady you know who you are”

“Angela has a friendly engaging manner, is very knowledgeable and quickly determined our style of travel providing great advice. She has been very prompt at responding to emails and putting plans/bookings in place. Highly recommend.”

“A wonderful place to visit!! We couldn't believe that it was free to visit. A lovely place to stay for either a short or long time. As well as seeing the animals there are many places to sit and have a picnic as well as a lovely childrens' play area. Highly recommend.”

“Wonderful story of Arboretums history. Lovely walk around - about 2 hrs with kids. Plenty art installations to see. Lovely Cafe with cake & ice cream. There's also Ruru Retreat - a cottage on site you can book through booking .com ( recommended).”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a great time at Confinement Escape Room! We did the Haunted House room and it was such a fun and exciting experience. A special shout-out to Luca — he was absolutely amazing! He was so kind, welcoming, and lovely, which made the whole experience even better. I’d highly recommend this escape room to anyone looking for a fun challenge — we’ll definitely be back!”

“It is with a heavy heart that we learned of Cornerstone Alpaca Stud’s upcoming closure next month. From Singapore, we extend our deepest gratitude for the unforgettable experience and warm hospitality we received during our visit. The story of how Dave and Sonja transformed a simple piece of land into a haven for alpacas & llamas, guided by their faith and the Almighty’s vision, is truly inspiring and a testament to their dedication. Our time at Cornerstone was nothing short of magical. Interacting with the friendly, and occasionally shy, alpacas and llamas was a joy that warmed our hearts especially the little one. A special shout-out to Sam and (I believe) Gunther—please forgive me if I’ve gotten the name wrong—Their enthusiasm for educating us of these friendly alpacas made our visit truly memorable. The Cornerstone Kitchen was not open but thanks for the lovely recommendation to try Woodlands Estate which is a few minutes away. We also loved browsing the Alpaca Shop, where the hand-felted scarves and other alpaca products showcased the care and artistry behind this unique farm. Thank you, Cornerstone Alpaca Stud, for creating such a beautiful space and sharing it with the world. Your legacy will live on in the hearts of all who visited. We wish Dave, Sonja, and the entire team all the best in their future endeavors. Hope the beautiful alpacas, llamas are in good hands. Please visit Cornerstone if you want to be a shepherd to the friendly alpacas.”

“If you have the idea that a horse ride is for you, it's hard to go past this place. Real down to earth kiwi farmers giving you a real farm and horse ride experience. Once on your horse, we rode up to a ridge where we had great views. It's fine for those that have ridden before and completely safe and easy for first timer's as well. Recommended”

“Business like, helpful, respectful assistance. Nice atmosphere. Open plan yet seating and display allowed for some privacy. Achieved what we went for.”

“Tania is an Absolute Superstar! We cannot thank Tania enough for everything she did to help us with our wedding travel plans. From the moment we started planning, she was totally on to it—organising a large group booking for our wedding in Rarotonga, and then helping us seamlessly transition to our honeymoon in Aitutaki. Tania kept us completely in the loop the entire time, answered every question quickly, and made sure everything was stress-free and smooth—no small task when dealing with a big group! Her attention to detail was amazing, and nothing was ever a problem. On top of all that, her personality is freaking amazing. She’s warm, fun, supportive, and truly a joy to work with. Planning travel can be overwhelming, but Tania made it feel exciting and effortless. We 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a travel agent who genuinely goes above and beyond! Chantel and Mike”

“This is my regular. The best cafe in town. Food is so flavourful, coffee is divine, yarns with the staff are a highlight.”

“Aaron was a wonderful boat driver and tour guide, an overall super nice guy with a good sense of humour and lots of local and historic knowledge. Highly recommend! Thanks for the fab tour and the crazy spins Aaron, it was super fun and exciting and you really made the ride a memorable and awesome experience. Thank you!! Trish and Chris Ps - sorry for the excited/scared screaming, I couldn't help it!!!”

“It was sn overcast day when we stopped in at the falls and we expected it to be quiet. To the contrary the place was bustling with people walking their pooches and tourists snapping photos. The place was well kept and clearly signposted so you couldn't get lost. Amenities were in good shape too surprisingly! If you have some time or a pup to walk or you're looking for that cool photo background, McLarens could be your spot!!!”

“Great views of the lake and surrounding views, plenty of picnic places and well marked hiking trails.”

“The boat was awesome, the crew was lovely, and the organiser Amy is fantastic. 10/10 would recommend. We’re definitely using this companies facilities in the near future!!”

“We had our wedding at Meadowood and it was just perfect!! Kerri and Matt were amazing, super helpful and the place looked 10/10! Would 100% recommend!”

“A very small little model railroad tucked up in the hills. Nice for Kids to see how steam engines work, even if they are 1/100 scale. Amazingly a one horsepower steam engine can pull a bunch of carriages with some very large people of size on them.”

“Very interesting visit, lots of helpful information. Keep up the good work”
