A great way to see lots of the North island in a short time! Definitely an adventure trip. The glowworm caves and sea kayaking were a huge highlight. So much fun!

Awesome tour and guide. Would recommend to a friend. Rooms could be more spacious and linked bookings should be coordinated and end up in the same rooms.
