“The whole experience felt like stepping back into another era, with so much history packed into such an incredible landscape. The owner - guide, Cal, was friendly, passionate and full of knowledge about the canyon and its past. The combination of the audio commentary and Cal's insights along the way really brought the history of the area to life. The views were spectacular. Finishing the day with a stop at the pub was a really nice touch and the perfect way to wrap everything up. I came away feeling like I'd experienced a side of New Zealand that I otherwise would have missed. Couldn't recommend it more highly.”
“My most enjoyable tour in Queenstown by far. Cal was an incredibly professional and entertaining guide who made the whole experience unforgettable from start to finish. He knew exactly how to keep everyone engaged while also sharing interesting stories along the way. The scenery was already amazing, but his energy and humour made the trip even better. And then there was the dog Aster— absolutely adorable. Honestly, Aster deserves its own 5-star review. I was already ready to give the tour a solid 5/5 before the “paws bonus marks” were even considered. After meeting the cute dog, the rating instantly jumped to 10000/5. One of those rare experiences that genuinely made my day and became a highlight of my time in Queenstown. Highly recommended to anyone visiting!”
