The tour was great! Our guide Burto is very helpful, knows every place! I will definitely use Haka Tours again the next time I come to NEw Zealand.
Lovely tour with nice activities and some really fun people. No worries, just book their tour, sit back and enjoy the best of New Zealand. I took their 16 day tour of North and South island in New Zealand and I had a lot of fun with viewing some amazing landscape throughout the whole country and experiencing some adrenaline with breathtaking activities. The places they make you stay are wonderful hostels with all the basic amenities like kitchen, laundry, washroom and showers. The breakfast they provide is free and plentiful. The tour guides are enthusiastic and kind, they have a lot of surprises for you along the way
I did The Epic NZ tour for 23 days and it was the best decision I could make! We had awesome Lizzie as a guide the whole time, who was extremely knowledgeable and funny. Heaps of extra activities for everyone. HAKA tours is one of the best way how to explore NZ if you don't have much time! Maybe it's little bit more expensive BUT worth every single penny! I would highly recommend them and would do a tour with them again!
I had simply EPIC time on EPIC Island(s).
Extremely organized and well planned. Our guide Ruth, knew her way around our itinerary and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Group size was perfect, close-knit and not crowded. Pacing was nice, whether you’re an early bird or like to rest more. One thing to note would be, since you won’t stay at the same hostel for more than 1-2 nights (I went on the South Island lick tour for 7 days), there’s not much of a consistency in the quality of all hostels, but that’s out of haka’s control since they don’t own these establishments. Our trip ended staying at the haka lodge though however, being the best hostel of all our stays during the trip easily, with an amazing host by the name of Andy who makes you feel at home. Make sure to bring locks for your lockers at the hostel in your rooms, battery packs/power banks, sunglasses, hats, sunscreen (although most other essentials provided and needed for you to bring will be emailed to you beforehand). In terms of pricing, I would say it is fair. The main selling point however would be the ease and comfort of letting go of any responsibility or stress of booking places to go, things to do and letting the agency work for you! During the South Island lick tour, Lake Tekapo was the most stunning place, invariably having the nicest view from its hostel as well.
I did the Bay of Island 3 day's tour. Tyrone was our guide. I am writing this feedback because I feel there is lots of to improve. I think he just must get more experiences in this field. There was lack of information given about day program,accommodationetc..
Our group was nice bunch of people easy goingI have expected from the guide to make the group workingsuggestion of eating together even if the meal wasn't includedetc.
My personal expectation for this tour was higher than the final product.
But I am not saying it was bad I have enjoyed it.!!!
Everything is about experiences..🙂
