our testimonials
This was a truly amazing holiday, and it all came from a conversation with Renee at Shore Travel about the sorts of things I was interested in doing on my South Island journey. I appreciated her “asking” and “clarifying” with me what was important for me on this trip. Everything ran so smoothly and I had the privilege to share my kayaking experience with many bottle nose dolphins in Kaiteriteri and Dusky Sound dolphins in Doubtful sound. Thank you so much Renee for understanding what was important to me in this South Island travel and for putting together such an amazing itinerary. I wouldn’t have changed a thing!
Overall, as always you nailed it…. Anne-Marie… you have a knack of knowing what we love and setting it all up beautifully. So big thanks from us for all you did to make our holiday very memorable and so much fun for all of us…. We think you are terrific.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for organising our beautiful holiday – we can say absolutely everything comes highly recommended. We loved every minute of it. Thanks again the happy travellers
I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you soooo much for all your help regarding our recent cruise. Thank you for the recommendations. We will certainly be in touch again soon regarding further cruising.
