Franz Josef Glacier Guides
5.0/5
Great guide, good organisation and equipment.
The glaciers were bigger than expected. Smooth heli ride and plenty of time on the ice.

The Remarkables Ski Area
3.5/5
Brilliant ski field.
Easy access road. Car park attendants are absolutely clueless, bad communication and no discount (discount was advertised) even though we had a Mount Hutt season pass.

Willowbank Wildlife Reserve
4.5/5
Good variety of animals - unfortunately some were in rather small enclosures.
Good place to see Kiwi before they are reintegrated to the wild.
