If you want to really see Auckland, beyond the city, spend the day with Stu and Donna. You won't forget the experience and you'll get to see fabulous sights and savor the culture. It was the best thing we did in Auckland - don't miss this special opportunity. more

We found this tour online, and what a find it was/is. We traveled for 39 nights and took many tours. This tour was the best of all. We did everything the ad states, plus more. The Hamiltons welcomed us into their home and thoroughly showed us amazing NZ hospitality. The family farm with the sheep, foods with unlimited beverages, the... more

We travelled from San Francisco to Sydney and did many tours but our day with Coast2Coast was the highlight of our trip. There were 14 of us from the cruise ship and Stewart picked us up in a 40 passenger bus. We had a wonderful day visiting the local area. Donna cooked us a wonderful lunch at the farm, Stewart... more

Hi Sarah & Berk. Many thanks for this review. We are pleased to hear you have now arrived home safely after your fantastic cruise. It was an 'exciting' day we all had, as it was great that the group were involved with the VIC opening and able to personally meet with the PM, Hon. John Key, (even if it involved...

We spent the second day of our honeymoon with Stuart and Donna and it was one of the best decisions we made. They were incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly. We so enjoyed our full day tour. It may look like an expensive day, but it is great value for money. We remember our day with grateful thanks and the fondest... more

My sister and I were in Auckland for 2 days only and chose the 1-day EcoTour on October 22 as a way to get out of the City and see some culture. Stuart picked us up at our downtown hotel at 9: 30 a.m. and we went to a variety of places - where they make manuka honey, where Gannets... more

This was one of the highlights of my trip. Stewart and Donna are amazing. You feel like a family member visiting them on vacation. The day is packed with great wine, food, sights, experiences and wonderful company. I would do this day all over again. more

This delightful half-day tour makes it possible for you to shop for locally-made crafts, sample New Zealand wines, taste manuka honey, stroll on a stunning beach, see the rural NZ countryside, feed lambs, meet cute birds and fuzzy bunnies, learn a bit about Maroi culture, and sample Donna Hamilton's exquisite homemade pavlova. It's hard to imagine squeezing all that (and... more

I enjoyed almost every aspect of this tour, led by Stuart, and, later, Donna Hamilton. I love the way the afternoon progressed, from the shopping to the wine tasting to the honey tasting, followed by Mirawai Beach and then, the Hamilton Sheep ranch. These two, particularly, captured the magic of this incredible country for me. Stuart was a consummate guide,... more

Donna and Stuart must be the ideal New Zealand hosts, combining knowledge, hospitality, and friendliness. Having taken the Overlander train from Wellington, we were eager to get up close to the coast and countryside. Stuart took us to sample NZ-made wine and honey, then to see magnificent views of the Tasman Sea and Australian gannet colony. We visited Stuart and... more
