Great tour of Arthur’s Pass National Park! - We were picked up at the designated bus stop on time and driven out to Arthur’s Pass National Park by our guide SUNY, he was attentive to our needs, the car was clean and he had cold water for us, he took us to all of the sites we wanted to see, we stopped for lunch at a cafe and had time to rest, he then took us to the CBD which wasn’t on the agenda, but my wife wanted to do some shopping, we had a very nice day

Thanks Kiwi Adventures! - Price was fair. Our driver was prompt and communicated the night before. We appreciated knowing the type of vehicle we were getting. He went as far as offering two different types of van for us to choose. Dave drove well, asked often if we needed to stop for rest or stretching. He was patient and informative about sights. The day went smoothly and we’re grateful for his respectful demeanor. We saw a lot in one day!
