- Peter· April 15th, 2025A wonderful tour of the South Island under the guidance of the brilliant Jacob Carr. Amazing scenery with a warm and friendly environment in the knowledgeable hands of Jacob, who ensured the requirements of the group were first and foremost.Show more

- vickie· March 23rd, 2025Whaea gave us a warm welcome and continued to be a caring and supportive and informative tour guide. She was very helpful with answering questions and making arrangements as well as providing us with information about the activities ahead. Some of our accommodation was good and some not so much. The Blue Duck Station portion of the tour was beautiful and wonderful. Sam did an excellent job showing us around and truly made us feel special and at home. She is a wonderful asset to the folks at Blue Duck Station and we would have loved to take her along with us! But the thing that made our tour most memorable was the other group members. We meshed together very well and truly enjoyed each other’s company. We almost always stuck together as a group and helped each other along the way.Show more
