MoaTrek Testimonials

"Yes, I have extremely high standards but you have not only met them 'exceeded' would be more appropriate."
Justice Ross & Vienna Landers - Vancouver Island, Canada (14 day tour)

"Flawless! Everything has gone as clockwork!
The Christchurch driver was GREAT... quite a personality, took me places I would never have found. The off road trips were spectacular, especially the afternoon tour that took us up into the Remarkables and on to Arrowtown. All and all it's been a wonderful experience and I can't thank you enough!"
Tony Baxter - California, USA (Bespoke private tour)

"Is there another way to see New Zealand other than with your tour? Do other groups get to see the crayfish farm? What other tourists get to sit in a Pisten Bulley Groomer or are invited to drive a D9 Cat? None I bet! We are quite thankful we weren't on one of those big tour coaches that so often went by while we were visiting some little hidden gem. Thank you for finding such a diverse range of accommodations, wineries and meals."
Mark & Maureena Smith, Minnesota, USA (14 day tour)

"Our travelling companions added to the pleasure with much laughter and travel tales. Thank you for helping us to capture the character of New Zealand, its friendly people, quaint towns, beauty and majesty of its mountain ranges. We were taken back to gentler times. Let's just say that this trip rates up at the top with the trips that will remain in our hearts and minds for the rest of our lives. "
Phil & Carrie Johnson - Moro Bay, California, USA (14 day tour & bespoke fly fishing)

"The way our tour was planned and handled and the way our guide carried it out was wonderful. He was always punctual, always available for help or guidance - very caring, very considerate. He took extra pains to see that we Indians got what we had thought would be difficult to get in New Zealand. We feel heartfelt thanks for him."
Dr Vinod & Ursula Tiwary - India (Bespoke privately chauffeured tour)

"New Zealand was everything we were hoping it would be and more. Our thanks for helping to make this a trip that will live with us forever. We will recommend your company to anyone who is planning a New Zealand vacation. Do not be surprised if we contact you again complaining of New Zealand withdrawal and claiming that a return trip is the only possible cure."
Deward & Sally Walker - Kalamazoo USA bespoke self drive/small group nature tour

"The trip was amazing and we sing your praises to everyone we can. Absolutely everything you planned worked out and was tops. Guides, accommodation, suggestions were all great. The hike to Rob Roy Glacier with Iris of Alpinism was a high point along with the overnight cruise in Doubtful Sound. I was impressed with how cheerful the people we met were and how much they cared about their country and the land. "
Suzanne Barr - USA (Bespoke self drive nature tour)

"Much fun in Wine Country made infinitely more interesting by our guide's extensive knowledge and experience - even providing a reference library to take home. Lots of memorable side trips involving hot mud and sheep, for example. (Don't ask!)"
Dave & Sally Maryatt - Seattle, WA, USA (6 day food & wine tour)

"MoaTrek was our first ever guided tour experience. It turned out to be an inspired choice. Our guide was both informative, courteous and an excellent companion. Each overnight stop was a different experience and unlike the stops of major tour companies! We enjoyed the New Zealand hospitality, the wonderful varied scenery – thank you MoaTrek."
Stella & Russell Smith - Staffordshire, England (14 day tour )

"A few words cannot do justice to either MoaTrek nor New Zealand. Your services were super. What really separates MoaTrek out is a combination of personal services, itinerary and unique lodgings.
Your choice of lodgings really contributed to understanding New Zealand’s people and culture. Clearly our evening at the Mackenzie’s will be in our memories for many years. In summary our trip was flawless in all respects and exceeded our expectations. Outstanding services!"
Don and Judy McIver - Kiawah Island, South Carolina, USA (14 day tour)

"MoaTrek opened the culture of the Maori before us as Andre "the chief" took part in the hongi. MoaTrek is unique in the way they incorporate New Zealanders and their hospitality as part of the experience. From a sheep station, snow farm, country manor or an out of the way inn, all situations were superior. Thank you for sharing your country with us. "
Judy & Andre Lavoie, Gilford NH, USA (14 day tour)

"We enjoyed Selwyn’s excellent guidance and knowledge very much. The tour on the northern island was planned exactly according to our wishes. The week was highly interesting, we learnt a lot about the country and the people. We hope to come back another time. "
Gerhard and Guadalupe Rein - Madrid, Spain (Bespoke privately chauffeured tour)

"We really had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for all of your help. Both Matt and Ian were great. They were both very helpful in so many ways. We enjoyed all that they had to share with us about New Zealand. Thank you again for helping us plan our trip of a lifetime!"
Teri Hawk - South Carolina, USA (Bespoke privately chauffeured family tour)

"We were most impressed with the pace of the trip - we enjoyed staying in each location for a couple of days instead of rushing onwards. We were impressed with the the quality of the accommodation and the activities each provided. It was just the right amount of physical activity for each of us. It was wonderful! Thank you MoaTrek for your itinerary - it was excellent as was your organisation. "
Jacqueline Page - NSW, Australia (Bespoke self drive tour)
