He Taonga Tēnei Wheako (A treasured experience)
From the very first phone call, this experience was outstanding. Huge thanks to the lovely wahine who helped us change our tour day at the last minute. The guides set the tone straight away, hyping us up on the bus and making everyone feel excited and safe. Special shoutout to Gilly, our river guide. The respect shown for the river through karakia, mixed with humour and storytelling, made it truly special. My son, husband, and I shared an experience of a lifetime. Thank you for making our Christmas 2025 unforgettable.
