A Glimpse at the rugged coastline and natural beauty of New Zealand!

This execution was well worth the money to get a little way out of the city and see the incredible natural beauty of New Zealand. The tour guide, Grant, was knowledgeable and friendly.

Great experience！

I had a wonderful experience on the West Coast beaches and Devonport day tour. Our guide was extremely friendly, enthusiastic, and professional. He gave us lots of interesting information throughout the trip and explained everything very clearly. As a foreign visitor, I especially appreciated how clear his pronunciation was, which made it much easier for me to understand and follow his explanations. I really enjoyed the whole tour and would highly recommend both the guide and this experience!

Trent u r the best

Fantastic tour with an amazing guide! I highly recommend this Auckland Wild West Coast tour! Even though it was a very small group, our guide, Trent, was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming throughout the entire trip. He was also a very safe and smooth driver, which made the journey super comfortable. The scenery was breathtaking, and Trent made the whole experience even better.

Wonderful West side

What a great tour! The wild west side of Auckland was amazing to see. The cliffs, gannet birds, and powerful waves were a sight to see. Lunch was very nice and gave us a chance to meet the others on the tour with us. Simon, our guide, however really made the day memorable. He was informative and patient enough to answer all our questions about the tour and Auckland. Highly recommend this tour.

A perfect day visiting some Auckland highlights

My wife and I went on this tour as the second day of our honeymoon in New Zealand and couldn’t have been happier with the experience! The tour was kicked off with a delicious lunch at Hallertau Brewery. It was a beautiful day and we were thrilled to see that some of the gannets were still at the Muriwai Colony. Matt was a fantastic tour guide, offering many interesting insights, and with a comedic touch at times! We can’t recommend this tour enough.
