longer time could be allowed for completing the tracks, but the lunch is good and the tour guide is well informed

nothing special really....I cant figure out why it's so expensive for just 3 walks...

fantastic scenery, well informed driver/guide. Unfortunately, the cruise we booked to finish the day didn't end up going ahead because there wasn't enough people. The drive told us that the cruises don't normally get enough people until the Christmas season starts.

Pick-up from hotel was perfect and driver charming. Main tour was interesting and informative - the driver being a great source of information over a wide spectrum. Stops were adequate and well spaced. Ample time given for each area of the tour. Lunch was very good. Airwalk and forest walks were memorable.

One of worst value tours i did ever. not exciting, and walk to swin bridge too long for too little of a 'thrill/view' lucnh - awful cheese sandwich and an apple which was bad, and oozing from the bottom (this in apple country). not to mention we got soaked in the rain. no umbrellas, raincoats provided. i've been to other outdoor adventures where rain gear is provided free if needed. there a simple rain coat was $32. terrible value. Also the 3rd time i have booked through viator and the tour was cancelled. at least this time i was contacted and asked to change the date....but from a day of good weather forecast which i deliberately check wefen booking, to a day of all rain! all in all, this tour is not worth it....just a long drive

What a wonderful experience this was! When the tour guide said there were "X-number of steps", we thought he meant stairs, but it was just walking steps. Only once did my vertigo surface on the airwalk and that part could have been easily avoided. I'm proud of getting over the swing bridges though. We enjoyed lunch in a quiet forest setting with some new-found friends.

The Tahune Airwalk is amazing! Definitely worth the trip. Seeing the massive trees dwarfed only by sequoias was an experience. The stop offs for breakfast and lunch were a nice change from the fast food pace travellers often get into. Worth it.

It was wonderful. Our guide was very personal and relaxed even when we had a lady with special considerations.

Loved the Air Walk.

Overall this was good, but for some reason the Peppermint Bay visit was canceled. The tour guide was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.
