Unfortunately the message advising my tour had been cancelled was not received by my driver. It was sent but he never received it. This resulted in an early morning start of 0630 that could have been avoided. An offer was made to relocate me onto a cruise leaving 4 hours later but this was not convenient. Even though the tour was refunded it was a waste of an extra night’s accommodation plus the cost of petrol and the driver which were costs I had to bear
I'm so sorry to hear that. I was also disappointed how the cruise company did. If I got the cancellation on right time, I would be cancelled the trip. Anyway, I'm so sorry for your disappointment.
Min was a great driver and was flexible in how the day went. He let us take a quick stop at the Treaty of Waitangi museum before getting on the ferry for the Bay of Islands. I highly recommend this trip!
Thanks for the great review for us. I hope you enjoyed the trip.
Our driver was fantastic, the boat experience was good. We didn’t see dolphins, but did see many little islands as well as interesting info about them (when the captain’s microphone worked).
Thanks for the great review.
