Fantastic!
Best wildlife trip we did in New Zealand. Very informative and friendly guides, great bus pick up service from town, and amazing viewing of all the animals. Albatross, blue and yellow eyed penguins, sea lions AND fur seals. The beach conservation area that the company maintain and add to is beautiful and they are really creating a haven for these creatures. Keep up the fantastic work and thanks so much!

What an amazing experience!
My mum and her partner were visiting me from the UK and I REALLY wanted them to get the chance to see kiwi in the wild. We turned up and Ian gave us a great introductory talk about the kiwi's we might see and a real insight into their plight. We then headed off into the beautiful okarito forest on a clear winter's evening and had the unbelievable opportunity of hearing a male and female snuffling to each other at their burrow entrance. We then saw them both emerge and got fantastic views of both- to cap it off we then heard them call to each other, a noise like nothing you've heard before cutting throught the darkness! Incredible! Thanks for your work, dedication and passion Ian.
Thanks Katie for the fine review - Hot News......Fancy is now sitting on an egg !
As of Saturday he has not come out of the burrow at the normal time - which indicates they have a 3 day old egg !
