オークランド発南島ニュージーランドプライベートツアー6日間

We had the most amazing tour of the South Island with Raghav as our guide and driver! We could not have fit more into our adventure! Every detail was worked out and timed to perfection. The hotel and activity choices were excellent, as were each of the accommodations that we settled in. Raghav was attentive and accommodating to all of our travel, touring needs and helped us to discover and enjoy the many opportunities that New Zealand offers. Changes to our plans and decisions were accommodated immediately, without any hassle. Would highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for a quieter, personalized experience.

Just finished an amazing New Zealand Tour. I am still processing how stunning it all was. From the moment we greeted by our guide, everything felt smooth, personal, organized and thoughtfully planned. What really made the trip stand out was the perfectly tailored itinerary. From the dramatic peaks of Fiorland to the Kaikoura Kayaking with the stunning views. Every day felt like stepping into a different postcard. Our guide adapted what we liked, and added small touches that made the trip feel truly ours. We saw so many hidden gems and he captured beautiful photos of our family. Bring layers as the weather changes fast in New Zealand. Highly recommend and we would defiantly visit again for a longer stay.

This wasn't just a trip, it was an experience that exceeded every expectation. From the start, their team wowed us with lighting-fast responses-our customization queries were answered with a detailed quote in just 30 minutes. Despite peak season and sold-out activities, they worked wonders, securing renowned activities and premium accommodations at the last minute. Their ability was unmatched. From the iconic Hobbiton Movie Set to the serenity of Milford Sound, every moment was thoughtfully planned, blending adventure with relaxation. The subtle check-ins throughout made us feel truly cared for. This wasn't just our best trip - it redefined what travel should be. It was masterclass in effortless, personalized travel. Don't think twice, book with them and let the magic unfold!

The 6 day Auckland to Queenstown tour was the best experience of our New Zealand trip. From the stunning TranzAlpine train journey to the serene beauty of Lake Tekapo, Mt. Cook and Milford Sound, every moment was magical. The provided hotel options were luxurious properties that added to the comfort of the trip. Our guide was very kind and determined to make it best tour of our lives. He offered fantastic alternatives when the weather caused cancellations of booked activities. The Glowworm caves were mesmerizing and it was one of the best activities. I also realized the trip involved a lot of driving, and I made the right decision not to self-drive, which would have been less enjoyable, Every detail of the trip was well-organized. I highly recommend Waimate Journeys!

My partner and I recently enjoyed a fantastic 6-day journey from Auckland to Queenstown. We started with a smooth flight from Auckland to Christchurch, where we were warmly welcomed by our very kind private tour guide RV. Travelling by private car from Christchurch to Queenstown allowed us to explore at our own pace and appreciate the stunning landscapes. Our guide RV's knowledge and flexibility were invaluable, especially when some activities were canceled due to not meeting the minimum number of participants. For instance, when a helicopter tour was canceled, our guide RV quickly arranged a Glacier Explorer tour, which turned out to be equally exciting. Highlights of our trip included the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo and the awe-inspiring scenery of Mount Cook. Reaching Queenstown, the adventure capital if New Zealand, was the perfect climax. We enjoyed thrilling jet boat rides on the Shotover River and a serene cruise on Milford Sound. We found the price reasonable because planning and coordinating this tour ourselves would have taken many days or weeks and added the stress of executing the entire trip. In Summary, our 6-day trip was unforgettable, thanks to the stunning landscapes and our outstanding guide RV. We highly recommend this itinerary for people seeking a blend of adventure and relaxation, with the added benefit of dedicated guide to ensure a seamless experience.

We had an incredible experience with Waimate Journeys. After exploring the North Island last year, we wanted to explore the South Island. We booked flights to and from Auckland for a better deal and chose a private tour to relax and enjoy the journey. The entire trip was smooth and relaxing. Booking this tour was the perfect decision, especially since winter driving in a foreign country can be difficult and risky. Out guide expertly managed everything, ensuring our comfort at all times. He coordinated our transfers to and from Auckland perfectly. When my partner had a sore arm, our guide seamlessly adjusted our activities, offering alternative options. Everyday he provided bottled water and snacks that were very convenient during our hike, as we enjoyed them at Glacier Lake. It was unforgeable experience to eat at Glacier lake surrounded by breathtaking glaciers. Guide took beautiful photos, and spotted Kea birds, enhancing our adventures. He also shared interesting facts about the places we visited. The highlight for us were The Mt. Cook Hooker Valley Track, Te Anau Glowworm Cave and Milford Sound Cruise. I must say I didn't see any trip who offer Te Anau Glowworm Cave and Milford Sound Cruise in single trip but we were thrilled tp experience both in single trip with this Tour. In summary, this tour and guide exceeded our expectations with their planning, flexibility, and personal touches. I highly recommend this tour for a hassle-free and enriching travel experience in New Zealand

Raghav was fantastic and meticulously planned our South Island experience! If you do not want to drive throughout South Island and prefer nature-focused experiences without camping, this is the tour for you. Raghav arranged our travel from Aukland to Christchurch and drove us to Queenstown. He scheduled our itinerary with such care and ensured we did not miss out on the major attractions. When inclement weather hindered our Akaroa Nature Cruise and our Stargazing experiences in Lake Tekapo and Queenstown, Raghav arranged backup experiences that were also enjoyable. Had I planned this trip, I would have missed out on various experiences. He arranged all hotel accommodations and provided alternative options in case the selected hotel was not to one’s preference. We were a party of 2 so we traveled in a very clean and roomy Toyota Prius that was vacuumed daily and replenished with daily snacks and water (very ideal since some NZ hotels charge for water). He is also an excellent photographer. He went above and beyond to take photos using the cutest Polaroid camera, which made the trip memorable. He even provided ponchos for rainy days and binoculars during sightseeing experiences. He is very patient and has such a peaceful demeanor. He is timely and clear with regard to communications. At departure he gifted us special momentos. I forgot to include that I booked with Waimate Journeys very last minute and yet the trip felt like it was planned for months! I travel globally and often utilize private travel experiences but I have to rank Waimate Journeys at the top of my list.
