  1. Just did this tour on November 2022, it was the highlight of our cruise.  Chrystelle is very professional and she aims to entertain and to educate us at the same time.  I would strongly recommend her pile ou face tour !

  2. We have cruised on Viking and Ama and we like both equally.  We do not like the huge penalties when you cancel Viking, their deposit policies are really over the top.  On Viking we liked the Aquavit Terrace where you have a buffet if you want to eat outside.  On Ama we love their pool and they have more choices of excursions at each place.  So we go with who offers the best itinerary at the time we want to travel.

  3. We went 2 years ago and Wellington is great on your own but take the cable car early, it gets hot quickly and then walk dowb and visit the museum on the shore ( Te papa).  In Dunedin you have to take the ship's shuttle in town, 10 km and dangerous walk, nice stores and book the train to the gorges in advance. Akaroa , we took a viator tour to Christchurch, was not interesting. Taraunga, we walked to the mountain and climbed it, wonderful.  In Bay of Islands we visited the treaty grounds then went by free shuttle to the little town of Pahia.

    So all easy except Dunedin, shuttle essential.
