Good

픽업 장소를 지나가는 해프닝이 있었지만 투어를 편히 잘 마무리 했습니다. 가이드도 재미있게 하려고 주시고 커피와 머핀 맛 있어요. 근처 가시면 투어 해보시는것도 특별한 경험을 하실수 있을 거에요

A Bucket List Must Do

Allan our guide & driver made this full day a wonderful experience. He was passionate, entertaining & knowledgeable. Felt privileged to be able to have access to a precious piece of nature. This is a 'must do' if you're in Golden Bay

Farewell Spit bus tour

I absolutely loved the farewell spit tour. Finn was our driver and he narrated the history and environmental significance of the surroundings from the minute we got on the four wheel drive bus. We were away for about 6.5 hours which I thoroughly enjoyed ... (my husband found it a bit long). The scenery is outstanding and what makes this so special is the World Nature Heritage status which they aspire to and are in the process of gaining recognition for. As a result they are the only vehicles allowed beyond the 4km entry to the beach at the thick end. There's plenty to see in terms of wild life including huge bones from a sperm whale, seals, birds etc. The coffee and muffin supplied was a welcome treat at the lighthouse where we got a lovely glimpse at the life the former lighthouse keepers would've lived. I'd thoroughly recommend this trip...it was so worth the expense! The bus took us to the spit and also to Cape Farewell which was also stunning.

Not impressed

Be sure to check with the tour operator before you go to make sure that there will be birds to see. Friends who went the week before I did said they had a lot of birds to see. We had virtually none. If you just want to see the beach and don't care about birds, then you should be happy.
