Canyon Explorers Queenstown
4.5/5
We canyoned at Routeburn Canyon.
Good fun sliding, jumping, abseiling down the canyon. Staff good, helpful and made sure everyone was okay. Really good day - only thing stopping it being 10/10 is cost of photos/videos afterwards. It is an expensive day anyway.

Interesting and informative insight into Maori rock art.
Get a guide who explains bits and pieces to you who was very good. A few interactive displays too.

Whale Watch Kaikoura
5.0/5
Great experience, we were very lucky, saw 5 sperm whales, average on a trip is 1 or 2!!
Also saw some sea birds including Albatross. Good knowledgable staff.
Kia Ora Matt, thank you for your feedback, it sounds like your tour was full of much to see. Hope you managed to get some great photos!

Re:Start Mall
4.5/5
As you drive around Christchurch, there are lots of reminders of the loss caused by the earthquake.
In the middle of it all is the Re:Start City Mall made out of colourful shipping containers. Such a good idea and has a really vibrant feel to it.

Douglas Walk
2.5/5
First part of walk including Peters Pool and bridge over valley stream okay but loops round and walk back on the road, no view of glacier.
Do a return to bridge rather than the loop.

Escape Campervan Rentals
4.0/5
Easy booking and communication online was quick and simple.
Collected van, (Krispy), friendly and full of advice, we picked up a van with a funky paint job. Only downside is some of the extra bits - picnic table and chair are falling apart.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for your review! (and Bex's below too) - sorry that our accessories let us down for your hire. We have actually carried out a full review of all of our extra items and been out and bought further stock, so hopefully that addresses that for the future. Fush'n'Chups is a funky van aye? Hes proven very popular!!
Cheers
Jolly Roger

PS Krispy's already swollen ego thanks you too! ;)

Sawcut Gorge/Isolated Hill Route
5.0/5
My favourite walk because it is a bit of an adventure, wading up the river, scrambling over rocks.
You will get wet, be careful, wear good walking shoes as it is slippery. You park at someones house so please respect their wishes and privacy.

South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Omarama ▷
Omarama TOP 10 Holiday Park
3.5/5
There is nothing wrong with these campsites really, they just lack the character of some of the other places we stayed.
Clean facilities, good staff, overpriced and pay extra for WIFI.

Flushing toilets, showers, bargain. Caretaker very friendly. On cricket ground near Wanaka, very good location, not as picturesque as some other campsites.

Never played disc golf before.

Very helpful person, very friendly.
Helped us find campsite and hinted we could book some excursions ourselves online through bookme.co.nz. Don't know if they should have told me, hope they don't get into trouble!
