채고의 여행입뉘다

clay가이드 엄청 친절합니다. 오클랜드사시면 집앞으로 픽업해주고요 투어끝나고 집앞에 내려줘요.개편안. 하루만에 코로만델 유명한 곳 편안하게 다 돌아보고 일정이 급하지않아서 천천히 잘 즐겼어요. 가성비짱 이 투어를 강력추천합니다. 솔직히 길이 험해서 직접 운전해서 가는것보다 편안하게 뒷자리에서 가는게 더 나은것같아요. 돌아올때 꿀잠보장.

뚜벅이 여행자들에게 아주 도움되는 투어

이번에 북미에 핫딜이 떠서 코로만델 투어를 이용했어요~ 제가 간 날에는 모두 다 혼자오신분들과 함께 가게 되었는데 가이드분이 너무 친절하고 세심해서 완전 좋은 시간을 보냈어요~ 정말 배려심이 넘치고 활기찬 가이드셨어요~ 운전하는동안 다양한 뉴질랜드 얘기도 해주셔서 이동하는동안 지루하지않고 좋았어요. 오클랜드에서 코로만델까지 운전하는 시간을 생각하면 차 있으신분들도 핫딜 뜰 때 이용하는것도 나쁘지않은듯해요~ 각 장소마다 시간도 여유있게 주셔서 구석구석 다 볼 수 있고, 지금은 사람들이 많이 방문하지않아서 그런지 조용하고 사진찍기도 편했어요~ 그리고 신발은 꼭 운동화를 챙겨가시는걸 추천해요!!!

많은 배려가 느껴지는 여행이었습니다 :)

코스랑은 별개로 물론 다른 여행들도 가는 길에 쉬는 시간을 주긴 하지만 이 트립같은 경우에는 소규모의 트립(10명)이라 그런지 틈틈히 가는 길에 화장실/슈퍼마켓/카페 등 갈 시간을 여러번 주셔서 부담없이 여행할 수 있었습니다! 중간중간 슈퍼마켓이나 카페에 들러서 점심 사갈 수도 있구요 ㅎㅎ 픽업도 예약할 때 위치 말씀하시면 숙소 앞에서 픽업해주세요! 그리고 무엇보다도 이런 여행들은 가이드분들에 따라 여행 분위기가 많이 좌우되는데 가이드이자 운전기사이신 George가 정말 활발히 다들 잘 챙겨주셔서 즐겁게 여행 마무리 할 수 있었습니다! 가는 코스들은 My Paku, Cathedral Cove, How water Beach 등 놓칠 부분이 단 한군데도 없을 정도로 좋았구요. 강추드려요 ;)

awesome trip

새벽기상으로 피곤했는데 에너지 넘치는 가이드 덕에 활기차게 시작했다 핫워터비치는 신기한 경험이었어요. Cathedral cove 약간의 등산 후에 볼 수 있는 절경!! 사람많지만 꼭 인생샷 건져오세요 그리고 가이드 George 너무 너무 친절해서 좋았습니다. 많은 가이드들을 봤지만 최고였어요! 에너지 넘치는 즐거운 여행이었습니다

당일치기로 좋은 코스

저까지 8명 스몰그룹으로 움직여서 부담 없었고 가이드도 친절하고 다정다감했어요. 당일치기 여행으로 최적이구 캐시드럴코브에 가고 싶은데 운전 못하고 여유롭게 가고 싶다 하면 추천합니다. 오클랜드 픽업, 드롭 서비스 제공하고 캐시드럴코브만 가는게 아니라 가는 길에 어디 산 트레킹 했는데 거기 뷰가 정말 좋았어요.
