Cass Valley & Himalayan Tahr - Surpassed our expectations. Was our 40th wedding anniversary, so very similar haha! Ben’s driving skills impeccable as is his eyesight- always amazes me when locals see something that I swear is not there, so I will google a picture next time. Had beautiful mountain water and Ben was patient and answered questions he probably gets hundreds of times. Cass Valley and farm was so interesting being a generational farm. From Mountains to braided rivers Wasn’t rushed. If you are wavering, just go. Worth every cent and remember your camera. the ride isn’t scary or challenging if you’re a nervous nelly Thank you

Four of us from western rural NSW Australia - An amazing experience that exceeded all our expectations. Admittedly we were blessed with a beautiful clear day that perfectly showcased the magnificent and diverse scenery. The terrain was rugged but handled perfectly by our host in her trusty 4WD. Christina seemed to relish her role and was a wealth of knowledge while also engaging in exchange of information and friendly banter with our group. Would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone seeking this type of experience.

An excursion in a comfortable 4x4 with Cristina who takes us to magical places. - We had the privilege of having Cristina as our French-speaking guide. Very attached to nature and the magnificent landscapes of the Lake Tekapo region. The big plus is that Cristina has access to a farm, a private property of 50,000 hectares with cows and Merino sheep. The 3-hour route through this property alternates between views of meadows, mountains and rivers. Our numerous discussions with Cristina allowed us to understand life in New Zealand a little better. We were able to take many photos and films. A short stop at the foot of a stream and a lodge gave us the impression of being alone in the world. We will keep excellent memories of this experience with Cristina.

Great experience in McKenzie Country - Amazing views. Our driver/guide was full of information on the animals, geology of the area and other local facts. Driving in the Landrover topped a great trip.

A Don’t Miss Adventure - One of the highlights of our New Zealand trip. Ben is incredibly knowledgeable and we loved every minute of our adventure. My husband said Ben’s flat white at the cabin was one of the best he’s had in NZ. We recommend that you book with Tekapo Adventure. It felt like our friend was giving us a tour of the place he loved and now we do too!
