It was a great trip and good to have a small group. Beache was beautiful and the bush walk was enlightening. Thoroughly recommend it.
It was amazing! We had a small group and a nice and funny guide!
Very good tour with exploring rain forest wild nature, waterfall and giant trees. The guide was quite informative and nice to us. I will definitely recommend this trip to my friends.
Lion Rock at Piha Bay...the rainforest and the giant Kauri trees...breathtaking!!! This may have been my favorite tour. Dion was an excellent guide and I really got a lot out of the day. I'm so happy I did it!

Very interesting tour with a small group. Efficient pick-up from the hotels too, The guide (Tony) was very good and showed all the special things in the forest and provided interesting explanation about the plants and birds. By the way, it is obvious why it's called a RAINforest! I recommend this tour, it is the best I booked via Viator!
Excellent tour. Very informative. Enjoyed all aspects of it. The guides made the best outdoor tea I've ever had!!! The scenery was spectacular. New Zealand is beautiful. Highlights (other than the tea) were the water falls and black sand beach.

It was fantastic! A quick trip but that was to be expected. It's a beautiful place seen with wonderful guides!

Really good tour to the west coast. Good combination of cultural highlights and nature treks. Maybe a bit too long spent at the beach on our trip as 1 guy insisted on swimming! Otherwise well worth doing for the scenery and the natural beauty.

It was a great ecotour we discovered beautiful nature ... nature land of NZ is so rich and magnificent and the host is very sympathetic. We'll recommend this tour to our friend who like us like nature.

We had an excellent guide and enjoyed the variety of landscapes we saw. The short walks were very informative. It was one of the best tours we took on our 3 week trip.

Very nice day and great guide in Stanley J. Informative, you'll see beach, Karaui trees, Auckland's beauty. Fine afternoon adventure.

Tour guides were very informed and friendly. Is well worth doing especially if you don't have much time in Auckland, it gives you a great insight of the local area. Black sand beaches are amazing!

New Zealand and our tours with Viator were wonderful. The Maori walk in Auckland, the Waitekere Ranges and the bus tour were just great. Don't miss the last attraction. It is not your usual slick commercial aquarium, and be sure to take the Snowcat ride as you will see wonderful penguins up close. The people could not have been nicer.
the tour is fun. best part is the short walk in the rainforest with the guide's commentary and explanation. wish can spend longer walk there and less time on the beach. not much to see or do there. the waterfall is not too impressive too. hope they will organise a trip with a longer walk in the rain forest.
will recommand it to friends for a change from time in city
Great way to see the western part of Auckland area. Informative guide and nice small eddy to manage group. Tour was good about getting you out of van and walking to the likes of black sand beach, water falls and rain forest.
