- Sophie· April 22nd, 2025Haka Tours was amazing - tour radar however was a shambles, I was sent to the wrong meeting place, given no contact details and not told I had a nights accomodation in Christchurch before the tour started - I will be seeking compensation although since I was told this happens 'all the time' with tour radar I'm not sure how successful this will beShow more
- Tim· April 13th, 2025Outstanding overview of the entire country. Liked that we stayed most places for 2 nights rather than changing accommodations every night. Provided numerous activities at all locations although some were a bit spendy especially those that included flying i.e. Heli Hikes on Franz Josef Glacier. Hobbiton was a highlight as was Queenstown's 4WD LOTR locations tour. Our guide was well versed on history and Māori culture and shared great insights on both during the travel time we had on the bus. Bus was comfortable and provided great views of the amazing landscape. Well-paced for the number of days included.Show more
- Anonymous· December 10th, 2024The trip is well organised and you get to cover a lot of places in the southern island. Our guide was Josh and he tried to make sure everyone felt included and learned as much as possible about New Zealand. We were asked for opinions, what we would like for breakfast, we had time for ourselves too, we even went out for dinner and had a nice and relaxing time.Show more
