Wayne, the guide, was excellent! He knew New Zealand and especially South Island and was able to improvise/adhoc when he needed to. I highly recommend him! Haka Tours was average- responded late regularly and somethings fell through the cracks. New Zealand was amazing- diversity was phenomenal and different between North Island and South Island

Haka Plus was amazing. I fell in love with New Zealand. Simon was great guide and the small tour group made it even better as we all became close friends. I would highly recommend Haka Tour to all my friends and Family. I loved every moment that I was in New Zealand. I would come back in a heart beat and travel with Haka Tours again!
