“We had an amazing trip planned out from NZ Awaits. We visited the North Island and were able to visit a variety of different areas. We kept Debbie’s notes with us the whole time, and always felt safe going from place to place. The accommodations chosen were all beautiful and very comfortable. I just told her the types of activities and places we’d like to visit and she whipped up an itinerary with everything we wanted to do! A mix of sight seeing, boat and river fishing, Maori village tour, hiking, geyser seeing, Hobbiton, wine tasting, etc, all with beautiful views! Will definitely travel with NZ Awaits again when we come back to visit the South Island. I wish I could use her in every country!”

“We had the best time at the zoo, we nearly didn’t even know it existed but someone told us about it. Had the most surreal experience with the lions, I hope they get their pool filled up soon hehe. They were nibbling on a carcass which was unreal and then someone came out and gave them some meat right before we left. Was so bloody cool. There’s also a neat little 10 minute trail walk at the back, was lovely.”

“What an absolutely beautiful place. Julie and John are those rare wonderful hosts who go over and beyond to make their guests stay special and memorable. I loved their energy, enthusiasm and the zest with which they run this delightful place of theirs. This was indeed one of those trips which will be amongst my favourites for not only the biking trail we managed to complete but also our stay at this amazing place. The food was divine and something we looked forward to. Most importantly, Julie and John took our dietary requirements into consideration and treated us to some amazing gourmet food at the end of each day. This was followed by games, a soak in the spa and some banter to end the day with. Definitely a place worth staying and experiencing!! Thank you Julie and John for being such gracious hosts ❤️”

“Love how friendly staff is and all the effort that gets put into my son who has hearing loss”

“What a spectacular experience! We've been with Phillip before on a boat in New Zealand fiords. As beautiful as that was, this was a land expedition, with multiple sunrise, sunset photographic opportunities, exquisite landscape sites, accentuated by helicopter views and landings. It surely was landscape "eye candy". So well planned and executed, and despite a few weather related problems, Phillip always had a solution and just went "with the flow". I surely didn't expect this and couldn't have been more thrilled!! Again, a spectacular experience !”

“Classic Cruises offers a perfect solution if you are looking to experience the beauty and natural wonders of Lake Rotoiti. Check out the scenery, experience the hot pools, or catch a nice juicy trout - highly recommended!”

“9th Dec 2023 Dean was brilliant... even had us laughing at his corny jokes. He gave us a very comprehensive personalised look at beautiful Tauranga. The kiwi farm visit was very informative. It was a highlight to meet the actual farmer. Highly recommend. GREAT TOUR.”

“My partner has a heirloom ring that we were keen to get valuated. Very relaxed and easy communications to set up a consultation followed by a warm welcome when we entered the shop. Glen is truly passionate about all things gems and jewelry, accompanied by an encyclopedic knowledge. We were very happy with the service Glen provided. Highly recommend.”

“Incredible experience and lots of fun for the whole family. Highly recommend”

“Had a great time with Tom on a rainforest hike. He was flexible and adjusted plans because of weather and took us to two spectacular rain forests. He is crazy knowledgeable and open to lots of questions. I feel like I not only got a great day in nature but learned a lot as well. My only regret was we didn’t have more time in our itinerary to book more tours with Tom. Would definitely do again.”

“I had great experience dealing with Harjinder.”

“NAILED IT! I contacted Tāpoi Travel and 2 other travel agencies to plan my husband and my bucket list trip. My inquiry was the same with all 3 agencies I reached out to. I did not want a typical Australian vacation. We love adventure, and I am a big adrenaline addict. My husband and I are foodies and are very much into wine tasting, so I wanted to get to enjoy our Australian vineyards as we ate and tasted great wines across the country. When I met with Toni, she read my inquiry and wanted to help make the trip everything I imagined. (The other agents gave me a typical Australian vacation big things to see and do with no real adventure and did not include any of the vineyards I initially showed interest in.) To make it even more complicated, we wanted to spend Christmas and New Year's in Australia. Toni and Luke worked hard coming up with ideas and tweaking them as we made changes and additions until we had the perfect trip. We started in Perth and spent Christmas Day on Rottnest Island, riding electric bikes and snorkeling. (BEST DAY EVER) Since it was Christmas, there was not much for lunch on the Island, so they jumped in and added a lunch reservation at a local resort. From then to the end of our trip, we had so many unique experiences, and as we talked to other people, they were so surprised at what we were doing. Many Australians told us they had never experienced many items on our itinerary. We had wine tasting, an airplane ride over the pink lakes, traveled The Nullabar, walked a bridge over the tingle trees, went down into the caverns beautiful cave, swam with sea lions and dolphins, took a hot air balloon ride over Melbourne, spent the night at the Taronga Zoo, climbed the Sydney bridge, toured the Sydney Opera House, had a great food tour, visited many vineyards, and more things I can not even think of at the moment. Tāpoi arranged everything, from drivers and transportation to lodging and tour guides. Upon arrival, they took care of everything we needed and had little notes or instructions in our rooms. In addition, Toni checked in on us often to ensure there were no problems; if there was a problem, she and Luke were super quick to help fix it. (BTW, there was only one actual problem, but it was quickly resolved and was more of the driver being in the wrong area at the airport, not a real issue.) I can not say enough positive things about Tāpoi. They executed a fantastic trip of a lifetime, and we are looking forward to working with them on our next big adventure to New Zealand!”

“Travelled with Phil and did the Everest Trek. Both my son and I loved it and made amazing memories. The trip was well organized and well planned. We did not have to do any planning other then getting ourselves into and out of Nepal. Everything else was sorted from the hotels, taxis and helicopters. Thanks for the amazing memories…..”

“We used Shore Trips and Tours to book 3 tours - 1 in Dunedin, 1 in Akaroa, and 1 in Tauranga (with an actual ST&T employee). We had no issues with an of our tours, instructions and contact info was clear and we had good communication with them in the months leading up to these tours. The tour that was actually through them was for Rotorua and Hobbiton in Tauranga and was great! Our guide (Mark?) Gave us some info as we went from place to place, made sure we stayed fed and on time, and got us back to our ship with time to spare! Will use to book tours again if we are in NZ again!”

“Lovely people. We have booked a Southland tour with them. Cant wait”

“Friendly service and loved the new coaches”
