Nice trip. Good choice. - The natural landscape was so beautiful that words cannot fully describe it. You must visit New Zealand for yourself. And what really made me feel like I did a good job signing up for the tour was the transportation to the destination… It takes a long time to get there… It"s dizzying to think that you rented a car… You take long plane ride and then drive all day…? It"s impossible. I absolutely do not recommend it.
Many thanks to Guide Dong-ho Ha for his hard work driving. And to Guide Gwang Hyeon Choi, who kindly helped me even late into the night when I lost my earphones, thank you so much. You both are amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I was so grateful for your efforts to help even after returning home 😂 I lost what I lost, but thanks to both of you, I had a wonderful trip. I also enjoyed the crayfish recommended by Guide Dong-ho Ha so much~~ If I hadn"t made a reservation for Friday evening, I wouldn"t have been able to eat dinner, but thanks for helping with the reservation as well~ Thank you for making wonderful memories 😊

Great day trip! - Blue springs is temporarily closed so we went to Hamilton gardens instead which was beautiful. Smooth and well-organized day trip from Auckland in comfortable newer van. Harry was a great driver. No hesitation recommending this company!

Fantastic tour! - Excellent tour with Sunny Tour and our guide Harry! Very professional and provided all the information and contact info upfront. Really enjoyed the walk through Hamilton Gardens, Hobbiton, and the Waitomo Caves. Drive was done in a well air conditioned and clean van. Harry was great at taking pictures for us too! Would highly recommend

Very flexible and accommodating - We booked our tour at the very last minute and the Caves were not available anymore. The team from Sunny tours scrambled to secure us the last three tickets for Hobbiton and then created a new itinerary on the fly, taking us to Tirau village and Waiotapu instead. Our guide, Han, was so kind and we really enjoyed our day. Thanks!
