You will be accompanied by an expert guide, from whom you will learn many interesting facts about the flora, fauna and ecosystem of the places you will visit.

During the tour, you can enjoy the adrenaline rush of speeding along in a speedboat, holding on tight as the boat makes 360-degree turns or skids across the water. You can also take in the view of the Remarkables mountain range, known for its high snow-capped peaks and beautiful scenery.

You can take spectacular photos of the surrounding nature and admire the New Zealand landscape, which is characterised by vast expanses of well-preserved wilderness . Not for nothing has this island been the location of countless film sagas, such as The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia or X Men .

    Very good indeed, quite an adventure. My son was a little scared during the ride but then he didn't want to get off. I recommend you not to eat before the ride because it can make you feel sick.
