The Ultimate

Fun, fun fun! Highly recommend

Fun, fun fun! Highly recommend. I did “The Ultimate” tour with 3 friends last weekend. FABOULOUS! Very well organised indeed from start to finish.
The guides were GREAT, very knowledgeable ,respectful, friendly and helpful. Good humour too.
The cart was ok although the one we had seemed to be very slow. I thought a map of the route on the dash would be good?
Whangamomona hotel was a comfortable old fashioned experience ; Dinner delicious, great staff there. LOVED IT. (Take your passport as”Independent Republic”.)
Tunnels were fun!
Highly recommend this trip. Wonderful team that gel together perfectly .Oh, and the home baking was OUT OF THIS WORLD good. (3 Mar 2025)
