      We spent a wonderful day with Karthik as our tour guide. The day proceeded efficiently as we were able to experience different aspects of Matakana. I was worried about my toddler riding a horse for the first time but the owners made sure all safety measures were in place. Consequently, the horse-riding was our favorite activity of the day! The transportation was comfortable, and Karthik even provided snacks and refreshments which was much appreciated by the kids. We plan to re-book with Karthik when we return to New Zealand in the future.

      Kia ora Andrew, Thank you very much for your kind words and leaving us with a beautiful review. We are so glad that you enjoyed the horse riding and enjoyed your day at Matakana visiting the art galleries. We look forward to hosting you again in the near future. Until then, we wish you safe travels and hope you managed to see some whales!
