Schöner Ausflug auf eine tolle Insel

Wir waren sehr zufrieden, hatten Glück mit dem Wetter und konnten auf Urupukapuka herrlich baden und wandern. An der Schifffahrt gab es auch nichts auszusetzen, die Crew war sehr freundlich und professionell.

Schöner Trip -- leider Umbuchung am Tag des Trips

Der Trip an sich war hervorragend und schön. Kann nur empfohlen werden. Leider war die Buchung das Problem. Gebucht haben wir am Vorabend. Am nächsten morgen erhielten wir eine Email. Ein Anruf wäre besser und dringender gewesen. Wir sind extra 1,5h angereist. Die Fähre zu unserer gebuchten Uhrzeit wurde zu dieser Zeit storniert. Wir hatten Glück und konnten auf eine andere Fähre am Nachmittag kostenlos umgebucht werden. Uns haben 3h Aufenthalt gereicht, aber anderen kann das nicht ausreichen. Die Buchung für diese Uhrzeit hätte erst gar nicht angeboten werden dürfen. Alles in Allem war es am Ende nur eine Kleinigkeit und wir hatten einen schönen Halb-Tages Trip

Not good or easy

I traveled from Auckland and parking was available a little far so was just a few minutes late. Ferry left right in front of us and they didn't stop for us or refunded us. Was a complete waste. Please be aware and plan everything way ahead as there is no option after that.
