I had the pleasure of taking this tour in my last week in Auckland and I’ll confess that when our friends were booking our trip I was in favor of doing one of those double decker bus tours. Well, was I wrong! I’ve taken many tours around the world, and this was easily the best by far. I can’t imagine... more

We recently spent a month in New Zealand and Australia, our Coast to Coast tour was the highlight of our trip. We visited Auckland, Sydney and Canberra, all have revolving towers with great views and acceptable restaurants ( Auckland's was the best) but nothing compares with Coast to Coast Tours. The best part was how Stuart and Donna make you... more

We had an excellent experience with Ernie & Donna (owners and operators of Coast to Coast Tours). They were very knowledgable and shared a lot about the environment and culture of New Zealand. As guests on their farm we were entertained in a delightful home where we were all made to feel like honored guests. I would highly recommend this... more

A Coast to Coast Auckland Eco-Tour and Farm Visit on April 3, 2008 was the highlight of our 24 day Australia / New Zealand trip. We took a Princess Tour/Cruise and stayed in Auckland an extra day to take this tour. It was far better than any of the tours Princess offered and far more cost effective. We were fortunate... more

Wonderful tour of Auckland countryside and nearby regions at an affordable price with a down home feel. The hosts are freindly, experienced, knowledgeable and accomodating. We enjoyed views of at a national park and a black sandy beach, met several friendly sheep at the operator's farm and enjoyed several types of honey at a native honey farm..Further, the operator treated... more

I recently took the full day excursion from Auckland offered by Coast to Coast tours. It was a thoroughly enjoyable daytrip, led by Stuart who later in the day introduced us to his wife Donna on their farm. During the tour, we saw a craft shop; a bee-hive; an excellent beach; and the wonderful farm which is operated by Start... more
