An awesome place to visit...something really different from the usual.

Would love to have taken the kids - they would have had a blast. Easily spent a couple of hours there, very good value for money. Awesome toilet seats!

For a first helicopter flight this was really enjoyable.

Friendly professional staff, stunning views and great photos. I got the flights for half price and would not have paid full price for this experience but it was once in a lifetime.

Cannot rate this museum highly enough.

For one thing it was free (although you can pay for additional tours), the staff are really friendly and informative, the displays are excellent and you can photograph them all. There is also a cafeteria on site (did not try it though). A great way to spend a couple of hours. A brilliant collection of planes.

Really well organised trip and although you could walk to the glacier yourself and see it from a distance the guides on this trip made it super enjoyable and being able to get on the water and touch the

icebergs was a treat. Wonderful photo opportunities and well worth the money.

Something a bit different.

Probably wouldn't have gone if not on holiday...a little pricey. Didn't see the penguin feeding as they had a problem with it. Haglund ride not for the faint hearted...it's a pretty rough ride...surprisingly so. Enjoyed the 4d movie and the staff were friendly and helpful. Good place to take the kids. Cannot recommend the cafeteria. They reheat their food in a microwave....and not for long enough.

Very basic, out of the way camping.

We had the place to ourselves. A long drive, a lot of gravel...not for those who like the better comforts...but very peaceful.

One of the best value parks we stayed out during our trip, lovely setting (weather was horrible so didn't get to do the bush walk), reasonable price, very clean bathrooms and a really nice lounge area

. Very friendly, helpful staff. A great place to base yourself for travelling around the Arthurs Pass area. Keen to visit again.

Hamilton Gardens are a unique experience in New Zealand with many themed gardens and a stunning Maori garden just recently completed.

Need a couple of hours minimum to do them justice with a break for an ice cream in the middle.A must see if in Hamilton regardless of the time of year.

Only a short walk over the dunes to get to the beach but don't forget to check the tides before you go...much less crowded than hot water beach at Coromandel.

Don't wear your good clothes they may always smell of sulphur afterwards!

While this is totally out of the way and a bit of a drive the seals are just adorable to watch and the place was deserted when we were there...stunning beaches.

One of the highlights of our trip down south
