My family and I did this Sunset Kayak Cruise for my husband's birthday on 8 January 2023. From the start of the van transfer out to Lake Mapourika we knew this was going to be a fun time. Ariel introduced himself in the tradtional Maori way and asked us all about ourselves. The weather was lovely and warm and the lake was stunning. My husband and I shared a kayak with our 2 older daughters sharing another. The group was a good size and were all very friendly. Our guides Ariel and Jacob were so much fun. Lots of rowing but not too strenuous and we had plenty of down time to talk and get some history about the area and about the Kiwi sanctuary that we paddled up to. We were a little early for the sunset due to the long Summer days but it was absolutely wonderful. I would not hesitate to recommend this adventure for anyone wanting a wonderful experience whilst in the Franz Josef Glacier area. We even got sent lots of great photos to remember the experience forever.

Enjoyed a great day at Auckland Zoo. Last full day in Auckland and we were looking for something pretty easy to do after almost 2 weeks of breathtaking scenery and activities. Our family always loves a good zoo so we thought we would give it a go. Great to get the $24 rate through bookme.com rather than the tourist price, saving us $36 in total. Well set out zoo with my favourite area being the African Safari area with the giraffes, zebras and ostrich roaming around. It was easy to get around and there were a great range of animals. Lots of locals visiting which was good to see - support for their zoo and their conservation programs. Even visited the Vet Hospital and whilst there were thankfully no animals in there it was interesting to see the set up. We were lucky to see Burma the elephant having her health check being done and watched her eat her breakfast, tearing into the cane palm. And to top it off to see a Kiwi running about in the darkened enclosure was a thrill. Great day out!

We booked this flight for my husband's birthday on 8 January 2023. All of the staff at Glacier Country Helicopters were exceptional and safety standards were very high. We liked the fact that it was a family owned business. Never having been on a helicopter flight before we were all a little nervous but very excited. Weather was amazing so we were very lucky. It was an amazing experience flying in a small aircraft to these huge natural wonders and to land on it was just unbelievable. Only negative was the short amount of time we had to spend up there because once we got there it was a surreal experience. You have to do this flight regardless of the cost as it really is a once in a lifetime experience. It was great to get the discounted rate through bookme.com so we could then budget for other wonderful experiences.

What a fun time! We were loaded on to the Jet boat and couldn't wait for the ride to begin. Twists and turns, wind in our hair and so much fun. Loved seeing the joy on my 2 daughters' faces and they are 20 and 27. After travelling up in one direction we had to pull over to wait for the other jet to come so our driver gave us an informative talk about the area and we found out some interesting facts about the jet and how it worked and also the amount of training the drivers have to undergo. This was such a great experience and I would highly recommend it to all. Again a good discount booking through bookme.com. Thanks !
