A special thank you to my guides Claudia and Tom for an unforgettable experience. I laughed until I cried and was totally blown away by the natural beauty and culture that New Zealand has to offer.
Wild Kiwi tours was the best decision I made coming to New Zealand. I got to see all the beauty that NZ has to offer without the stress of planning it all. 100% would choose Wild Kiwi again. 🤟🏽
I did the 7 day South Island Voyager tour and it was wonderful! I felt very safe on the tour and thought it was really well organized. I got to see so much more of the south island than I would have if I had tried to do it myself.
I booked the 21 days NZ Discovery and no words can describe how it was. The nature, activities and the people you meet is just amazing! I can officially say that I made friends and experienced some of the best weeks of my life.
