This trip really exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Jono, kept things light and fun whilst being very professional and keeping an eye on comfort levels. We got a discounted $30 rate for the zipline, which is probably the maximum amount it was worth. It was fun, but like most zip lines pretty brief. I just wish I'd believed them when... More

This was a trip into the forest and we all got a turn to drive, crossed rivers and lots of mud

I was a bit worried about going white water kayaking but this trip was in an inflatable double kayak which was surprisingly stable. The company took us for an hours drive into the mountains on a 4x4 track which was great fun. John was able to have a go driving the 4x4 om the flat and through some rivers. Befor... More

This trip took about 4 hours and I was able to drive the 4x4 vehicle (Landcruiser) myself. I was told that they used older vehicles so I didnt have to worry if I put a scratch or dent in it, that suited me fine. We went on this rough track through the rainforest and across rivers. it was reasonably challenging... More

As with any outdoor activity in nature there was a drive to get there which was fine. Our guide was friendly and helpful and the tubing was great fun. The scenary is stunning and the caves and glow worms were also lovely. There was a slide into the river part way along and a jump near the end - good... More

I work in the outdoors, and am a guide in the outdoors. I have done tons of outdoor activities in New Zealand and this is by far the biggest waste of money and worst run tours. For one it is expensive. First off $165 is way too much - some activities you can do for less, that are far better... More

We get the most satisfaction from our jobs when our guests leave us having had a great job so your review is of concern to us. It sounds like... More

We had a great time on these guys cave & river tubing tour. Its in a beautiful place and the flight through the forest on the zipline was something special, like the glow-worms, they were special too. The river tubing was fun, the staff treated us like friends. I'll be back

The river level was low, hence a free zip line into the canyon was offered, well not bad, except you have to wait an hour or more while the whole group comes down. Ok so far and well put together at the top, but at the bottom, not so, poor scaffolding tower and poor procedures to take you off the... More

We were really looking forward to this trip, taken December 2011... Before we left, we asked what the river levels were like, having heard and read that the trip can be quite bumpy and shallow if they're not up. We were told that it should be ok. We got to experience their new zip line as they were still working... More

I've been in New Zealand for 9 months and this is honestly one of the best things I've done. It was such good value and so much fun. I highly reccommend it. If there was any improvement to be made I would say to allow us a bit more time to look around when we got to the start of... More
