We had another great day out on the Golden Bay in a Day tour. The scenery was spectacular, lunch was great and our guide was phenomenal. Was great to see some places that are typically only experienced by tourists that are hiking and camping around the South Island.

Zayn our driver and guide for the day was very involved in his role.
We discovered amazing places and he always had a lot of informations to tell us about history, geography and economics of this region.
We would like to meet him again next time 😁

Thank you! I really appreciate your review!
It was so good to share this special piece of New Zealand with you.
You must come back, there is plenty more to show you yet!

We had a great day exploring all these extraordinary places at Golden Bay. Wayne, the tourguide, told us so much about nature, history and the Maori culture, so we learned something about New Zealand. On top of that, we had lots of fun!

A nice day except it was a rainy one.
We still enjoyed some famous little track as Wainui Falls, The Grove Scenic Reserve and Te Waikoropupū Springs.
When the weather got worst, we kept us dry inside the cave of Takaka Hill.
We ended the day with a local craft beer tasting at Hop Federation Brewery.
Response from Host, Nov 2019
Hi Julien, we're glad you had a nice day, unfortunately the weather isn't something we can control (we wish we could!).
Hop Federation was an added bonus and brew some of our favourite beers!
