Today we had a private tour with Warren. It was a GREAT day. My wife and I are wildlife novices, but Warren's passion for this work was contagious.  We had a wonderful day and are making plans to come back for more.

Hi Elm Wildlife Tours,
 
Thank you so much for the unforgettable experience that I had in the tour with Suzanne and Donna on 5 Jan. 2012. The encounter with the albatross, penguins and sealions was breathtaking (sheep and rabbits as well). Suzanne and Donna were friendly and very knowledgeable about those animals.   I was also struck by the stunning beauty of the landscape and enjoyed the company of people in the same group.   The tour was actually the highlight of my trip!
 
Best wishes,  Sanae Japan

Hi Folks,

Just thought that we would like to thank you for the wonderful tour we had off the Pacific Dawn on 24th November. It was our first stop ever in NZ and Port Chalmers/Dunedin are such beautiful places. If it weren't so cold, we would probably think of coming for a visit -we really feel the cold coming from Queensland. To yourself and all your staff, thanks for giving us such a great day. I have put a cruise review into Oz Cruise Club and thoroughly recommended Elm Wildlife Tours and you never know, we may come back. All the best for the future and a very happy Xmas and New Year

Hi All,Just wanted to say a belated thanks for the fab tour we went on with Brian on 16th September. This was my second excursion with Elm Tours, and I brought my family back, 14 years on. We had a great time - seeing fur seals, yellow eyed penguins, hooker sea lions, and many birds. The Otago Peninsula was beautiful, and the reserve was a little corner of a special place. Brian's knowledge and enthusiasm was infectious, and the whole family loved it.

 Thanks again, Jenny Ansett, Edinburgh

Thank you for a fantastic wildlife tour on Wednesday, October 5, 2011! This was a wonderful experience and the best activity I did on my entire trip around New Zealand, and is something I will definitely do again on my next visit. Shaun’s knowledge and enthusiasm added so much to the adventure; you can tell he really enjoys what he does and that it is much more than just a job to him. Your tours are an absolute must-do activity! I also appreciated Shaun’s suggestions on other wildlife and outdoors activities in the area.

Best regards,  Andrea Shetley, Tennessee, USA

Hi Elm,

Arrangements throughout my African safari were excellent, everything went well without a hitch. It was the best holiday in my life, Kenya and Tanzania were just absolutely amazing. I enjoyed Kenya very much, but Tanzania was outstanding, 16GB of video and pictures, had to buy 2 more cards. To see Lions walking right beside your car is really something. Television shows the country and animals, but seeing it all in reality is totally different, it's hard to explain what one feels. The indescribable poverty people live in, is a totally different world. The accommodation and food were good, and oh yes, then there was the balloon flight from Masai Mara, the pilot had to land in Tanzania, which was a change of plan, nevertheless, a champagne breakfast was laid out for us right there, in the middle of nowhere. I am really thrilled that because of you I was able to go on this safari. Have a great time on your next trip
Cheers, Sabine

Just want to say a MASSIVE thank you for everything while we had the Aussie agents over.  They loved the tour especially the little extras, and especially the ride up the hill on the ute.

Hi Brian

Thought I would send an email to thank you and your team for making our group's Saturday visit to the Otago Peninsula such a wonderful experience. I have had many emails from our group who said how much they enjoyed the day and especially the Guides who all contributed so much as well. If you can pass on my thanks and gratitude.
Thanks and regards

Hi guys!

I really wanted to thank you again for the awesome time I had with you, the albatrosses, the pinguins, the sea lions and the fur seals! :-) I took part in the tour on March, 2nd and I loved all of it: the whole scenary is wonderful and the explanations provided by the guide were fascinating! - I've been travelling for more than a month in New Zealand and this was my best encounter with wildlife! One question to you: Is the little lazy pinguin on the path to the beach finally gone fishing by himself or is it still waiting for his parents to feed him?

Hello Elm Wildlife tours,

We are a couple from Barcelona (Catalonia) that some days ago came to your tour, and we wanted to say that we really enjoyed it and think that every cent is well invested. The guide, I think that the name was Shaun, had enless knowledge about the wildlife and the area, and you could notice that he really enjoys what he is doing; in other tours they tell you that it is going to be 3 hours and is exactly 3 hours, but, in this one the guide was not interested in finishing it, he was interested in show you lots of things and explain them.
We had a little question and maybe you could help us, the last days around Kaikoura we have kept seeing the animal in the photo (2 days in different places) What is it ? Thank you very much for everything!!!
Dani and Anna
