It’s a very long ride from Queenstown on a bus. But the waterfalls and the view was very striking, even though it poured rain and we were not able to ride the boat.

I was guiding a group of University students from Georgia USA and we had Ewan from Queenstown Expeditions as our private coach driver.....he was tops. Nothing was a bother and he had so much patience as we herded the cats so to speak after each stop. I will definitely use this company again.....they give a 5 star experience and have no issues with going the extra mile.....Many thanks Queenstown Expeditions.
