This water contains large amounts of salt (NOT salt water), calcium, magnesium, potassium, fluorine, bromine and silica.

24 Day Grand Explorer Reviews

Tour reviews from past clients of Relaxing Journeys for the 24 Day Grand Explorer.
Trip was really good and amazingly comprehensive, I don't think there's much of NZ we haven't seen one way or another!Would have been nice to spend more time in Wellington - we only had one evening really as we were on the early morning ferry the next day - but would have liked to maybe have two nights so we had a day free to explore the city, this maybe something to review on the trip as I'm sure we're not the only people to think this? Wasn't really much going on at Napier - we visited Taupo on the way to Napier and on reflection would have much preferred to stay in Taupo instead of Napier. But thats just us. Milford Sound was pretty - not sure it's worth spending over 8 hours in a coach from Queenstown for though, especially as the trip includes a couple of other similar tours. But an absolutely fantastic trip, the itinerary provided was really good as it gave us loads of pointers of things to do in between our overnight stops - not that we needed much help, the North Island was full of beautiful little beaches and coves to stop at, and we managed to fill every bit of spare time we had doing one of the may hundreds of activities NZ has to offer - swimming with dolphins, sea-kayaking, river surfing, you name it I think we did it. We're already planning our next trip - have to save for many many years before it happens though. In a nutshell we had a fantastic trip, and all thanks to you guys for putting it together for us - the package of info we received when we arrived at the airport was really useful and much appreciated. I'll be recommending you wherever I can! So thank you very much for organising a fantastic honeymoon for us, we've got so many memories from our 4 weeks in NZ.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in New Zealand. Thoroughly enjoyed the B&B or Boutique Hotel accommodation along with a home cooked meal each morning. Operators were very knowledgable about things to see and places to eat in their towns. We were about an hour out of Christchurch when the quake hit - met many people after that were staying there but off on a tour and lost all luggage, documents, etc. We were as shocked as everyone else when we heard about the quake - we were in the car and did not feel it. Your company was very good to make the changes and contact us as soon as possible. We only had one glitch - limo service to the Auckland Airport on our final day was not arranged as per our new itinerary. After waiting for 15 minutes in the lobby - we approached the desk at the Heritage Hotel and they called the number on the voucher. They had no record of us - so they made arrangements with a limo service in the area. We did just make our flight. We are very happy with your service overall and would strongly recommend your company to anyone wanting to visit New Zealand.

Thank you for all that you have done to make our trip to New Zealand a memorable event in our lives. Now that we have returned to the UK we can reflect on what we have seen , experienced and very much enjoyed. The total organisation from start to finish has been superb. The trip enabled us to experience a wide range of what your country has to offer and also gave us the opportunity to go off the beaten track with confidence. Everywhere we stayed was excellent and each one was different in its own particular way. We appreciate how you have dealt with the one very minor incident. The daily written detail/plan was vey good but we did find the description for Day 06 puzzling - we never found some 'great gorges and old native forests before heading across the volcanic plateau to the geothermal city of Rotorua, passing many of the regions crystal clear lakes en route'. We wondered whether we were on the wrong road but we got to Rotorua with no trouble. On Day 15 we found the loop road diversion to Geraldine a let down. The gourmet cheese factory now seems to be more concerned with selling cheese - there was no activity in the factory. Finally we felt the Matakohe Kauri Museum should be a MUST VISIT museum for anyone wishing to get an insight into life for the founding members of modern New Zealand. It is a fabulous showpiece and we shall never forget our visit to it. It needs to be given more emphasis amongst so many other highlights. We will now, once we recover from the long flight home, revisit all the photos we have taken . Your peoples and the sights and sounds of New Zealand will remain with us for a long time.

My wife and I used the Grand Explorer tour as a base and made a few changes to suit our interests and location preferences. We worked with Jarrod Sharvi who was extremely helpful in working out and finalising our amended itinerary. I was very happy with his prompt, friendy, informative and honest (in terms of what to see and what could be missed) assistance. We ended up having a fantastic holiday and I am sure that was due in part to his outstanding contribution, arranging for additional activities and tips of what to see along the way, some of which were off the normal tourist route. NZ is an amazing country and we truly loved our holiday which was well organised and gave us many varied experiences. Again, Jarrod played a large part in this. I would highly recommend Jarrod and Relaxing Journeys for a New Zealand holiday.

A truly wonderful experience. New Zealand was everything we imagined and more. The tour organized by you guys was outstanding and the help and communication couldn?t have been better. Every detail worked out - with no hassles, and the weather was truly remarkable, one grey day and a few minutes rain in 22 days. The hotels provided were good, but the B&B?s were outstanding, and it was a shame that sometimes we just had to move on, when we could have happily stayed longer. It will be a very long time before the memories of the remarkable scenery, Kiwi in the wild, Manu the Sperm whale and meeting a 4000 year old tree fade! It would be difficult to describe these as high points, as all of our trip was so good. Thanks for everything, and we certainly can?t recommend your services highly enough.

Well we are back in the UK and wanted to send you an email to say a huge thank you. Our honeymoon was fantastic and everything went really smoothly. Everything was seamless from beginning to end. The standard of accommodation on the whole was very high and ideally located. We met some wonderful people and saw some amazing things. New Zealand exceeded both our expectations and we are already planning our next visit even if it might take time to save! Thank you for helping to make our honeymoon a once in a lifetime unforgettable experience.
Steve & Alison Roberts (United Kingdom)
Tour Date 07/04/2009
Superb Tour, well organised, the itinerary was absolutely spot on, had no problems anywhere. Other guests we met in the B&B's were most impressed with our travel instructions. One who was travelling with a sat nav with directions from one of your rivals was very envious of us and took details of your company for the next visit! We did a few diversions on our travels, the most notable was Thames, here we visited a church made from Kauri inside and out. It was the most beautiful church we had ever seen, and definitely worth a mention to any visitors to this area. We also found here a tour round an old gold mine, this was also very interesting. Another place we visited was Whangarei Falls. This also impressed us - quite spectacular, we did a very short circular walk around here. Betty coped with the driving very well but she was pleased to get back to her manual vehicle! The quiet roads were very novel to us we are more use to traffic jams. Two minor negative points. We did not feel welcome at Gothic Heights Motel Christchurch, too many rules, we were greeted with 'we need a credit card in case you damage anything or leave any unpleasant smells, we charge $300.00 to fumigate a room'. Whilst we understand they do not want other people to enter a room smelling of an unpleasant odour, we feel it could have been presented less aggressively. In Nelson we only had a very small studio apartment. The itinerary stated 2 bed apartment. However neither of these incidents dented our enjoyment. Those moans apart, all the B&B's were absolutely superb everyone was so friendly, and the rest of the motels were fine. The weather was kind most of the time and it all went too quickly. I would like to finish by saying thank you for the professional way our holiday was planned by you. The attention to detail and the expertise was really appreciated. We are more than willing to recommend your company to our family, friends and colleagues, because we know it will be well organised. Many thanks.

We just returned home yesterday and are just about over the jet lag so I am taking the opportunity to write regarding the holiday you organised for us in your beautiful country. I would like to say from start to finish that the organisation, service and professionalism of the arrangements were excellent. The pacing of the travelling was just what we wanted and the standard of the accommodation you chose was top class. The only slight hitch that occurred was the late delivery of the first rental vehicle which put us behind schedule on our first day on the road but one phone call to yourselves and the matter was quickly sorted and arrangements changed to accommodate this. We received delivery of a gift of a hamper in Christchurch from Europcar as a gesture of apology and although unexpected it was very much appreciated. I have been and will continue to sing your praises and if we ever have the opportunity to visit your amazing country again we will have no hesitation in putting the arrangements in your very capable hands. Once again, many thanks for your help Craig and just to say your company is well named.

We've been back in the UK for a couple of months now but were missing one of our two suitcases for a couple of weeks with most of the info on our trip. Thankfully, we have now got it back and have had the chance to reflect on what was, undoubtedly, a fantastic holiday. As was promised, New Zealand is a wonderful country to visit and we have many happy memories of our trip. With respect to Relaxing Journeys, the organisation, standard of accommodation and the variety of activities were faultless and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company and this type of holiday to any of our friends or relatives. If we ever go to Australia to tour we won't hesitate to book through your company. (RJ - Feedback has been shortened, please ask if you'd like us to send full report.)

I cannot believe we have been back from the Antipodes for a month now. I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful holiday we had in NZ, it was so relaxing, so beautiful and so well put together for us. And what friendly people we encountered, nothing was too much trouble, just wish we could do it all over again but spend twice the time! Once again, thank you so much for all your efforts, you got it just right for us!
Jackson Family (United Kingdom)
Tour Date 30/01/2009
Just a note to thank you for all the arrangements you made for our recent holiday in New Zealand. From the moment we arrived at Auckland till we left Christchurch a month later everything went like clockwork. We all had a great time. The variation between the north and south island was quite dramatic both in scenery and weather. I'm glad we had the extra days at both ends of the holiday and a couple in the middle. On hind site I would have like a few extra days at some locations. By the end of the holiday we were quite tired, but nicely so. Anyway, thanks again for a wonderful holiday.
Derek & Anna Brown and John & Margaret Young (United Kingdom)
Tour Date 02/01/2009
Well what a wonderful holiday we have had! A stunning country both North and South (although we preferred the south as it seems to have everything). You people are so proud of it all and rightly so ? may there never be any high rise buildings built; it was such a change to see beaches and lakes looking as natural as possible. Plenty for all, as I said to someone. It was lovely and our grateful thanks for arranging such a fine and memorable holiday. By-the-way, we had (apart from rain in Rotorua) fantastic weather on the whole, many days getting up to 25 degrees, so an added bonus to your beautiful landscape, as it is like our Devon, Cumbria, N.Wales and Scotland all rolled into one, with jolly nice Kiwis to make our stay so informative and pleasurable.
Ann & Paul Hancock (United Kingdom)
Tour Date 21/01/2008
We just had to write and express our gratitude for providing us with the holiday of our lives. Every aspect of the itinerary was as advertised and then some! The standard of the accommodation was excellent and the tours and excursions were marvellous. All the details were well presented and easily understood. Having completed the trip we can now see in hindsight that a lot of thought?had gone into it to strike the right balance of locations and activities. This was going to be a once only?visit.?This is no longer the case and we will be coming back one day and we will be calling on your services again.
Les & Theresa Jones (United Kingdom)
