Dear Jane, (Dunedin i-site)

I was the guy whose wallet got stolen in Melbourne. Anyway, this tour was amazing. The tour guide (John and Jane) was very knowledgeable about the animals and Penguin restingarea. Moreover, he respected the wildlife and their habitat. The tour covers the right time of the day, when the light is great and the animals are most active. There is indeed a little bit of walking, but this was fairly moderate. The tour is not rushed and there is enough time to take photos. The tour gets you to inaccessable areas, which makes it an unique experience.    A great thanks to John and Jane for making this a very nice experience.

Thanks

Peninsula encounters

We are writing to let you know how much we enjoyed our tour Monday Oct 8. Donna was an excellent guide, very knowledgable, great communication skills and a fine sense of humor. This was one of the best wildlife tours we have been on.

Thanks again,

Brian,

I wanted to thank you and the two Shauns very much for the tour on Sunday. It really was a first class experience. You were very generous to my family. And I think Mother Nature really played her part – albatross, penguins, friendly sea lions and a rather handsome kingfisher too.

Kind regards, Daniel Shields YHA

Greetings,New Zealand by motorcycle - click to see gallery

My wife and I enjoyed your tour on March 14 during our stay in NZ.  First, let me say we LOVED the tour and it was very much worth while. The guides were excellent - friendly and knowledgeable. The properties of the tour were outstanding and when we visit NZ again, we will be returning. Your company is receiving high praise from us on our on-line ride report of our vacation at http://www.advrider.com/.    Thank you again for your time and your tour. It has given my wife and I memories we will cherish the rest of our lives and we look forward to an eventual return.

Sincerely,  Elburn L. Templeton USA

Just wanted to thank you – now that we have returned home to France – on a wonderful Peninsula Wildlife Tour on Monday 27th February with Shaun. We couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide and it was a highlight of our trip to New Zealand. Keep up the good work there!

Kind regards, Eileen and Michael Fawcett

Mark Carwardine with Elm Senior guide Shaun McConkey (Msc)New Zealand's 'Small Five' safari November 2011

When he was in New Zealand, the zoologist Mark Carwardine had to fight off an amorous parrot. Undaunted, he returned in search of the country’s most eccentric species – the 'Small Five’ and spent some time with the wildlife within our reserve viewing yellow-eyed penguins and New Zealand Sea lions.
