Hi everyone,

I just finished the Grand Explorer trip and absolutely loved it! If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them- but only at my email address as I don't come on this site very often- laurie.samuels@pwgsc.gc.ca.

If you get Nikki as a tour guide while you're there, she's WICKED!!

And if you get to the Fox Glacier, be sure to do the Heli-Hike- was definitely worth the money!

Happy Travels~

Laurie

PS I also did the Reefs and Rainforest tour in Australia... that was equally as good!

Hi guys

Just wanted to say, I was on the same trip as Laurie and will back up anything she says! The trip was fantastic - so glad I went!! If your worried at all about travelling by yourself - don't be. They will make you feel so welcome!!

There are so many great things to do in NZ and the tour does really well to cover them!

If anyone has any questions you can email me at kfuller@ruraldirections.com and I will do my best to answer them!

Hope you all enjoy your trip as much as I did. And say Hi to Nikki and Rangi for me (if your lucky enough to get them!!)

Hey all,

I did a tour in early October with Nikki and she rocks! NZ is a beautiful place and they try hard to show you everything possible.
