About This Tour
We are unique in that we offer this beautiful trip into our back yard with history from guides with over 30 years experience on the river and stories from maori elders going back 33 generations (or so). Also we pride ourselves on our homemade light lunch and the fact we can pick up from the ship. All trips get clients back onto the cruiseships well before departure.
