Absolutely fantastic. - What a great tour! Kawal was absolutely fantastic. We ended up having a medical issue which detoured the experience of it, but my goodness our tour operator was absolutely brilliant with the way he handled the situation. The destination was gorgeous and our guide so knowledgeable. We were in an amalgamation of a group. We had senior citizens teenagers and individuals with Special Needs. There was something for everyone. Five stars. Would absolutely do this excursion again. And with this group. Top-notch professionalism.

West coast tour - We booked a tour to PIHA beach and waterfalls. The guide Syed was very punctual and had very good knowledge about the places we visited as well as about Auckland in general. After we visited the beach it started to rain and he was flexible to adapt the tour and we went to the Arakari visitor center and as rain stopped made a walk in the rain forest. Syed was very friendly and supportive. He dropped us on the way back at Ponsonby as we wanted to explore the area. I can recommend him and the tour.

Great beach, lovely falls - LoVED the beach. Wonderful walk on the sand. Driver great but very windy roads (perhaps not great for anyone a bit nauseous). Waterfall lovely (from the bottom). Walk to top very enjoyable, but limited view of the falls from the top.

Black is my new favorite color - Visiting Auckland’s black sand beach was one of the highlights of my trip to New Zealand! The drive out from the city was scenic and easy, and as soon as we arrived, the view was absolutely stunning — dramatic cliffs, wild surf, and that striking black volcanic sand glistening in the sunlight.

A good guide - Jim was very friendly. It’s a bit far from Auckland but it’s a beautiful setting. The trail is not suitable for everyone and the fall is not worth the visit.

The black sand beach and... - The black sand beach and waterfall were gorgeous. There are a ton of steps up to the waterfall f that’s a worry for you. The driver does nothing but drive. We had a 5 minute taped commentary at first and then literally nothing after that. I expected a bit more commentary about the places we were going through or seeing. But it was a nice way to spend Christmas Day off the ship.

Enjoyable but not long enough - After a bit of a mess getting picked up the tour went smoothly. Douglas was very friendly and well informed. The sites visited were beautiful, but in the time we had it was hard to fully take them in. I would recommend going on a longer tour to Piha

Highly recommend - Our tour guide Dinesh was brilliant. The tour itself was brilliant, I highly recommend adding this one to your list of things to do. Enjoyed the climb to the falls, made a good workout.

Fell below expectations - It was unclear what we were paying for. There was no guided tours at the 3 locations we visited. We essentially paid for a driver who was very helpful and filled in as well as he could. Be sure of your expectations before you book this tour. Our expectations were not met.

Gorgeous views disappointing tour. - The sights were amazing; however the tour was disappointing. Our guide for the tour was very nice but had no experience with the sights and could not, therefore, give us any information. We book these tours as an informative and educational experience and not just a sight seeing endeavor. The hike to the falls was challenging but a beautiful climb. I would encourage all guides to be knowledgeable of the sights before guiding others.
