Amazing views! Great guide! - My mum and I went on this tour together. It was really well done! Adil was a very informative and welcoming tour guide/driver. He was very friendly and considerate. We saw 2 waterfalls, a beautiful black sand beach, and lions rock. Highly recommend!

West Coast Tour - This was a beautiful trip. We had great views from the peaks, a sturdy hike to see a beautiful waterfall, ending with lunch and time to admire the dark sand beach. Our guide, Aiden, was fantastic!

Interesting sights - wonderful countryside. - Adil, our guide was terrific. He shared his knowledge of New Zealand history and the history and character of the Auckland area. He was able to explain the significance of each site we visited. When the main road was closed to a waterfall he got us there by way of a winding backroad so we didn't miss out. I woukd recommend this tour and especially Adil as a guide.

Fun tour to the west coast - Great tour. Stephen was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to you. No lunch included but he will ask to take you to a spot if you’re hungry and he took us to buy icecream. We even did a bonus visit to the Auckland Winter Garden. Recommend to take this tour.

Great guide made this tour of the west coast extra special - Huge thanks to Nancy for a fantastic West Coast Discovery tour. She made a great tour extra special with her anecdotes, insights and great sense of humour. She engaged with all of the group members and was really responsive and flexible given changing weather - we ended up doing a great little hike up to a different waterfall as the road to the Karekare waterfall was closed… and Nancy added in a scenic coffee stop. Lunch at Piha beach was a great choice. Great tour - we had a really fun day.

Kitekite falls, walk through the Waitakere ranges, Piha beach, Arataki visitor center - Thoroughly enjoy this trip and the other people were lovely. Nancy was an amazing tour guide and had a great sense of humor. Had the best time. Haven’t laughed so much in ages. Nancy was a wealth of information regarding anything we asked of her and her local knowledge was excellent. The waterfall was just beautiful. Highly recommend this tour and Nancy as a tour guide.

Great Guide - Gentle tour around the coast and forests a short drive from Auckland, lovely landscapes and coastal views. Took the longer forest walk up to the waterfall which was well worth it. Nancy was a great guide, informative and entertaining.

It was a wonderful tour... - It was a wonderful tour with Adil. He tailored the tour to suit us - taking us not only to the sites referred to in the itinerary, but also to other locations that he thought we would like and were a little off the usual “touristy” venues. He also gave us a very informative and interesting commentary along the way. We thoroughly recommend this tour!
