We had a fabulous day out exploring the wineries. The driver was knowledgeable, friendly and managed to keep track of all of his passengers whereabouts. He even added an extra quick stop to the chocolate shop at the end prior to going home so we could see one more winery. Loved all the wineries we chose to visit but highly recommend Wither Hills as it was such an amazing venue with amazing service and the best food! I will be dreaming about the Hapuku wings we had there for the rest of my life.
Fantastic aviation centre and NZ is so lucky have this. We have visited a lot of war and aviation museums worldwide and this rates up there as one of the best. The recreation of famous scenes and the artefacts of famous pilots such as The Red Baron make it extra special. A must see for aviation enthusiasts or anyone interested in history.
Excellent displays of air craft used in world 1 and 2. We spent almost 4 hours reading the history and enjoying the displays. Wonderful setting too as the hangars are modern and beautifully lit. It was worth our trip to Blenheim to see.
Absolutely top! This museum is the best i have ever seen regarding aviation. I definitely recommend it. 👍
Absolutely loved this! Such amazing detail in each exhibition and stories! Would highly recommend for any enthusiast
This is a must see if you visit Blenheim. The diorama displays and effects are amazing. The museums are so jam packed full of history. We took 4.5 hrs to get through both WW1 and WW2 museums and even then did not see everything. Very enjoyable thing to do.
It was mind blowing. The scenes and people were so real. I got lost in reading their stories. 10/10
It was an informative experience especially for those who wants to know more about WW1 and WW2.Good value for money and you will come out witty.
An absolute must see event in Blenheim. Fantastic exhibits and memorabilia. Allies and foes from WWI and WWII treated with great respect. So much to take in I will have to go again. Do not miss wonderful museum.
Wonderful displays of WW1 @ WW2 planes with plenty of interesting facta and stories to view. Staff were also on hand to answer questions. Fantastic place well worth visiting!
We went to the exhibition 12 years ago and decided to have another look . It is a great display for all ages. Very informative panels. The guides were interactive and had amazing knowledge. Thank you for sharing .
We had a great trip out to the Island with friendly and experienced staff. We saw some beautiful birds and were lucky enough to see three Hector’s dolphins on the way back. Very enjoyable afternoon.
Accommodating staff
This was one of the best things I have done. We had two young children and the staff and guides went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. They were knowledgeable on all the wildlife and local area, the views and scenery aren’t found anywhere else and the wildlife was everywhere. If you ever have a chance to do this cruise it would be too good to miss.
It was a great experience.
Nice Dolphins and Birds!
Guide was sooo kind and scenary was really beautiful. Island was soooo nice a way to go there also really great trip.
Our group of seven, old, young and inbetween all loved our trip out into the sounds. We saw penguins, seals and dolphins and the guide and captain went out of their way to ensure we got the best experience. They were friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Simply a MUST DO if you are in the area.
Great way to explore hidden bays in Queen Charlotte Sound, we saw three different kinds of dolphins who swam with the boat! Lovely way to spend an afternoon.
Me and my love wife had a awesome mail run on Saturday trip on the 1 Jan 2022 we would love to do it all over again
Amazing views, cute doggies, and a friendly Captain. The journey would be worth to try
We had a very good knowledgeable skipper and tour guide (name started with a S, cannot remember Steven or Stuart). Saw dolphins on the way and various birds. The track is a very pleasant walk. All the staff of the cruise company were very nice.
Very happy with this purchase. Great cruise through the sounds, with friendly and informative guide Phil. Walk from ships cove to furneaux was fantastic, nice gentle grade the entire way through. Track is mostly in forest but great views here and there. Got to picnic with some weka birds. Says 5.5hrs walking but we were a bit quicker, had time to grab a beer and some snacks at the idyllic furneaux lodge at the end. Would 100% recommend!
The master of the vessel provided a great commentary giving lots of local knowledge. Guests were given the opportunity to deliver the mail bags along the way. Definately a must do while in Picton.
Great commentary, nice boat with options for both in/outside seating. Friendly staff. Great trip, we did this with our 7yr & 9yr old kids who still had tonnes of energy afterwards. Kids loved jumping off the wharf at Punga cove. Relaxing seating at end of walk. Thanks
A really interesting family friendly cruise delivering in all respects. Our boys joined the super informative Jason up front helping with the mail drop offs, getting close encounters with the local dogs on the jetty’s, feeding blue cod, seals and a quick visit past the salmon farm. Jason’s knowledge of the area was exceptional. Recommend to all
A lovely relaxing boat ride that takes you to all the nooks and crannies in the Sounds with some interesting stories about the locals. Great way to get out on the water if you don't have a boat.
Was a beautiful day just amazing going through the sounds the skipper was really good and his commentary was great with all the knowledge of the area ships cove was the best part stopping off there was great
A fabulous day with an excellent informative commentary, beautiful scenery and we saw 6 pods of dolphins!
