Easy, hassle free and great way to visit Piha beach - This was my friend and my first trip once we arrived in New Zealand and it set the bar high! It was a great day trip and a perfect way to visit Piha not having transportation of our own.

Awesome day - I did a fantastic trip with Trippy on one of my very first days in New Zealand and didn’t even notice my Jetlag anymore! I wouldn’t want to miss it, totally recommend the company.

Best decision and highlight of my backpacking trip - I did this trip right before COVID-19 hit. Did the Shutter service and stayed the night before being picked up the next day (I wished I stayed longer!). Best decision and highlight of my trip, especially since I was doing a short backpacking trip and didn't know how to drive this was a great way to get around. Instructions were clear, pick up was fuss free. Highly recommend it, Mike will point out the places to go, and scenic sights along the way. Pick up the next day was easy and right outside my accommodation. Photos up on my Instagram (Same username), feel free to message/ DM me if you plan on heading there after COVID-19 or post lockdown if you want to know more about my experience

Full Tourguide service for shuttle price!!! - I expected this so be a shuttle to and from Piha beach, but it was so much more. We learned so much about the area, was advised on all the different things to see and do during the day including how long things take to walk or hike to so we can plan effectively. In the end this "shuttle" was the best way to see Piha. I would use and recommend this service 100%.

Beautiful spot, above and beyond service - Loved this! The perfect way to get out of Auckland and see some of the beautiful West Coast so close by. Mike is an excellent guide and his enthusiasm for Piha and New Zealand in general is infectious. Super social, loads of history tidbits and lots of laughs along the way too. We were only meant to be on the shuttle to and from Piha but Mike was chilled about letting us join in the walks with the tour group going that day due to timing. So glad we did and if we'd known more we would have just booked the tour anyway! Brilliant value for money and lovely staff.

Good trip, worth a go. - Overall quite a pleasant trip. Our two guides were very good and knowledgeable. Could have done with a little more time at Piha. Pickup from hotel good, however the drop offs were a bit chaotic !

Don't book, they won't show! - They could maybe turn up to the meet-up point. That's one way they could improve!!!!! I'm so angry, booked and paid for but no show. I want my money back but can't get in touch.
