"From the pickup at our front gate to drop off at the conclusion of the tour, MoaTours exceeded our expectations in every way, with an excellent balance of sightseeing, cultural and the more active activities that covered the highlights at each stop.

"We chose the ‘Bridge to Nowhere and Forgotten Worlds’ tour because it gave us the opportunity to travel to a part of New Zealand that we had always wanted to explore.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the rail-cart ride, the jetboat on the Whanganui River, the walk to the Bridge to Nowhere with the picnic lunch and the Gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers. Whanganui and its history was a wonderful experience and our gumboot throwing contest in Taihape was a lot of fun."

"The tour had many features that we appreciated and enjoyed. The itinerary was well thought out and managed, maintaining our interest and breaking up the longer travel sections. The coach was maintained and always clean and the meals were excellent.

"Finally, our guide and leader Tim was excellent, very knowledgeable about the area and good at keeping the group’s spirits high."

"I enjoyed the variety of gardens and meeting the inspiring people who had created them. I also enjoyed meeting the other folk on the tour - each one had an interesting backstory/life experience and good humour. The meals were of excellent quality along the way and the two nights at each accommodation was a good pace.

"Our tour leader Helen was the best, during the tour we felt cared for and entertained with interesting travel stories from time to time on the longer stretches of travel.

"I inadvertently left my backpack on the van when delivered home by driver Mike. Thankfully my email was picked up by staff and relayed to Mike, plus a phone call to reassure me of delivery on its way after the final drop off at Orewa. Thank you!"

"We enjoyed our trip so much. Our driver Graeme looked after us so well and made the trip more interesting with his geological information. The visits to Molesworth and Farewell Spit were much enhanced by our local driver’s knowledge. 

"An impressively well organised tour to parts of New Zealand I have always wanted to visit. We particularly enjoyed your “door to door” service with absolutely no need for us to worry about any arrangements. We would happily recommend Moa Tours and hopefully enjoy another trip soon."

"We thoroughly enjoyed another MoaTour, this time to Great Barrier Island. We are sure that the tour included all the interesting places available and our driver guide Andre and all the local guides were exceptional.

"We particularly enjoyed the boat trip out of Fitzroy, the visit to the Okiwi Passion Organic Gardens, all the occasions that we had Russell as our local guide, the Elephant Craft Gallery and lunch at the Boar's Nest. The accommodation with Val and Francis with dinner and breakfast was superb.

"In fact everything was excellent."
