マーティンボローワイン＆ワイルドコーストツアー（ウェリントンから）

We thouroughly enjoyed our tour with Phil. The viewpoints were amazing and while we were not looking for a cheese or chocolate experience, Phil managed to make those interesting. The Poppies winery tasting was good as was the associated lunch. The drive out to Ngawi and Cape Palliser was long but the rugged terrain, sea surf and fur seals made it worth while. If you are like me, a turtle, you may want to skip the stair climb up to the lighthouse (253 steps) and wonder down toward the surf. Phil has a very varied background and was an enjoyable guide. You will not regret the tour. Oh, last note: the roads tend to be very winding and if you are prone to motion sickness take your dromamine before heading out.

I’m a solo traveler and enjoyed this tour immensely. Phil from Zozo Travel was a fantastic tour guide and very informative. I enjoyed his sense of humor. The trip was very packed, but I didn’t feel rushed; everything was timed efficiently. The tour included a walk in the rainforest, cheese & chocolate sampling, wine tasting, fur seal encounters, see the beautiful coast with the lighthouse and top notch lunch & dinner included, just to name a few. Thanks for a fabulous experience!

Zozo communicated excellently beforehand, as we needed to change the day, and this continued on the day when the driver was stuck in traffic. The tour was excellent, with Phil, the owner, showing excellent knowledge and a well-paced itinerary that was jam-packed but didn't feel rushed. The highlight for me, likely with the excellent weather, was the trip down the coast to see the Pallister Lighthouse, a climb not for the faint-hearted, and a few surprise seals to boot. Well worth the money, and the dinner was excellent!

This is our most memorable moment in New Zealand. Philip is an excellent guide and surprised us time after time with the itinerary. The nature walks, chocolate shop and wine tastings were epic. Lunch and dinner were both exquisite. We were especially enamored with Moy Hall with the quality of the food and wine. I highly recommend this tour and the Zozo Tour company.

Mike, our tour guide, made the trip fun and enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable about New Zealand and shared lots of interesting information along the way. We visited many great places and enjoyed tasting local cheeses, chocolates, and wines. We also got to see Rivendell, the lighthouse, and the seals at Cape Palliser. The tour was very comfortable, and the vehicle was clean and well maintained.

This is an awesome, action-packed and highly efficient way to experience a huge amount of the natural beauty that the areas around Wellington have to offer. I would especially recommend it for solo travellers, particularly if you do not have a car/ your time in Wellington is limited and you are a little overwhelmed on what to do/ where to go. I could not believe how much I managed to see in just one day. You do not spend too long in each location, which means you are able to cover an enormous amount of ground. It makes for quite a full-on day, but when you look back on the food, the views and everything you experienced, you really feel you have had exceptional value for money. The seals were a wonderful surprise and definitely one of the highlights. Phil is very focussed on being respectful around the wildlife which is worth noting. I had no idea about the seals so when we got to see all the pups playing I was overjoyed. Watching the sunset from the lighthouse was stunning, and seeing the stars on the journey home was also incredibly special. Phil clearly loves where he comes from and the fact this tour is based off of his own interests and what he likes shines through. Phil was a fantastic tour guide. It was like being shown around by a very softly acerbic New Zealand version of James Acaster. I do not think he fully realises how unintentionally funny he is.

Excellent tour. A tour not to missed if you are in Wellington and want to see beyond city. The rain forest, the cheese and unique choc, the seal, the lighthouse, and nice coastal scenery along the way. Phil is an excellent guide cum driver, very helpful and thoughtful.

Phil was very welcoming knowledgeable and professional. He provided excellent information and insights into the local areas. His passion for the area was contagious. We covered a lot of places. The tastings and lunch were delightful and dinner was very special.

We traveled with my parents and kids, and it was an wonderful experience. The tour covered all the key highlights, so we were very satisfied. It was great comfortably visit areas around Wellington that would have been difficult to explore on our own.

The knowledge the guide has is amazing. We enjoyed being the only two on the tour and had a great time with him.
