Algorithms can be hard to understand. For the moment, we are the number #1 tour in Wellington on TripAdvisor.

Thank you to our fabulous guests who have taken the time to write a review. Pretty good for a two person family business 🤣.

A day unlike any other - seeing a Southern Right Whale 20 metres away from us in Wellington Harbour. The video has his vocalisation as well.

So grateful to be a tour operator in the city I have lived in for my whole life. For our guests, it was a life changing moment 💖💖💖

Te Waipounamu (The South Island) was in the best light this morning. Hard to believe that some days it can't be seen 😮.

Can you guess how many pieces of Lego? So so many, in lots of cool colours 💖

We had fun hanging out with the dinosaurs at Jurassic World Lego exhibition at Takina Centre. Just another great thing to do in Wellington at the moment 😁.

Wellington put on a spectacular day for a delightful family. Sometimes the hardest part of being a tour guide is saying goodbye to new friends. Thanks for a fabulous day 😊💖

This magical Humpback whale hung around the Wellington South Coast this afternoon.

It is the start of the April/May migration when they head north through Raukawa (Cook Strait) for calving & mating. I've been buzzing all afternoon 🤣💖.

Sometimes it is easy getting the archetypal photo of Wellington, other times, not so easy... The cable car moves more quickly than you think 🤔.

So many giggles and so much laughter in one day - the joy of being a tour guide 😃.

Visiting Wellington on your honeymoon, priceless 💖💕.

We walked on a rainbow, hung out at two beaches, visited the sights & ate NZ delicacies, such as fish n chips, custard squares, yo-yo biscuits & chocolate cornflake biscuits.

Our NY born guest even ate an apple straight from the tree for the first time @ ration creek orchard. Fabulous day had by all 😀.

You can't beat Wellington on a good ice cream day, especially when it's 28.5C degs and it's your birthday. My fabulous tour guests spoilt me rotten.

Thx too to the team and customers in on Cuba St who sung happy birthday to me. Very special ❤️

These issues have been affecting our guests this season. It means they miss out on visiting a number of ports.

This article is a great explanation of what is happening. Hopefully the ships will start getting their hulls cleaned before they get here.

There has been an increase in demand for the work due to a shortage of cleaning facilities and stricter biofoul thresholds.

What a fabulous way to spend the last day of 2022 - sightseeing in Wellington, putt-putt golf in a sculpture park & a NZ Macdonald's tasting tour (you gotta find out if it tastes the same as at home 🤣).
