What people are saying about Auckland
Mike is absolutely gem of New Zealand. Wonderful guide, he knows in an out of NZ tourism not just Piha. He was kind enough to accommodate us even when we were two people in the trip, so professional. Just go for it and book it with Trippy. Piha is a paradise and we stayed there overnight it was worth it. Beach is amazing, walk to kite kite falls was exillarating and awesome views every direction. Worth your every penny.
I loved the Segway tour on Waiheke Island. Our Intrustor and guide Andrew was very friendly. We had two bags of luggage, which he let us put in his van. He helped me with my helmet and I felt very safe and looked after on the tour. It was such a fun experience, I would highly recommend it to anyone.
I went with my mum & partner to Hobbiton & Waitomo. We had Michael for our tour & he was so generous & full of knowledge about everything & anything. Also such a great conversationalist . Highly recommend, would love to be on another tour with him. Thank you for a great day out!
Had such an amazing time! Got to visit a few different wineries and eat some tasty foods. the tour is a great way to explore the island of it’s your first time over or even nice to learn more about the island if it’s not your first time.
Fantastic event. Great guide who made our tour extra special, Andrew goes out of his way to ensure you have the best time. Absolutely loved this - time flies in a blink of hilarity and good time. Highly recommend to everyone!
