Boutique South Island Tours

Excellent tour , visited many places that we would never see. The scenery was spectacular and Geoff giving a great run down of the history of the areas and a lot of inside knowledge we came away knowing more than we would have by reading any guide book. The accommodation was brilliant and also the meals pack lunches and all. The hospitality at the sheep stations were second to none. I special appreciated Geoff giving me the Ebike after my bike got a flattie. I am now an Ebike convert. Best of all we finished the tour just in time to miss possibly the worst weather to hit the area. Thanks again . We will definitely be looking you up for our next trip.

My daughter and I did this tour recently. Its a part of New Zealand I've always wanted to see and we were lucky enough to be the only two people on the trip. Our guide was very professional but relaxed and we enjoyed the chat as he drove us through the station. Although I could have driven this road myself I appreciated the fact that I could enjoy the scenery and relax without having to focus on the driving. The facilities are maintained by DOC and I would have to say they are the cleanest long drop loos I have seen. If you are a fan of the high country this is a great way to see it.

We recently did a tag along tour with Geoff including going onto D'Urville Island. Fantastic organisation for the build up with Lee via the office and then amazing time with Geoff on tour. Superbly organised and well run, was lovely to see a special part of NZ back country and meet the amazing people Geoff & Lee had us staying with. Thank you so much, now looking at what other tours we can tackle with you.

We recently did the Molesworth Tag-a-long tour with friends and had a wonderful time. The trip was very well organized, the accommodation very good, great food, the group of people got on very well together, and our 'Camp Leader' Chris was very knowledgeable and made the whole trip fun. A particular highlight of the tour was meeting the farmers and talking to them about their lives in this most beautiful part of NZ. We have already recommended the tour to several other people.

Our minimal expectations were health and safety a priority. There was no assessment of individuals' driving confidence. CB radios were provided but the lead vehicle quickly drove out of range without providing clear instructions. I felt harrassed at times to comply with some quite challenging and potentially dangerous situations. Geoff's anecdotes revolved around local farm ownership and succession/marriages/divorces/scandals etc. Not exactly the history we were interested in. Accommodation with 8 persons sharing 1 bathroom is entirely inappropriate in 2020. Food was ample and beautifully prepared, both by Geoff's wife and at all farmsteads visited. The little resort at Catherine Cove was delightful and we would definitely consider returning independently another time. The short fishing experience with Lindsay was excellent - would have loved a longer time on the water! Time for Sth Is Tours to upgrade their package and provide the modern traveller with the professional level of experience they now demand.

A great tour experienced some beautiful country that I would of never have gone too if I hadn't been on this tour. Chris a great tour leader with his vast knowledge of the area and great company. I recommend this tour to every one. Regards Roger kilford
