"Wow we had a wonderful time with you last week Rachel, awesome tours to Punakaiki, Hokitika Gorge and the Treetops - the stunning service matched only by your manaaki and aroha extended to us. You do your tupuna proud Rachel and your love, and passion for your whenua is truly humbling."

"We wanted to express how grateful we are for what has been a truly unforgettable experience. Please make sure that our tour guide gets this (I think her name is Rachel). She was SO KNOWLEDGEABLE of each of the destinations that we visited. It was so good to have a one on one tour, something that up till now, we cannot fathom was possible. Having a tour guide who is from the area, who knows and has a genuine love for the people, culture and space is something that money cannot pay for. We were definitely enriched by all she had to share, and happy that we were able to share a bit about where we are from in Jamaica."

"If sightseeing is your plan, I would recommend Hokitika Scenic Tours. Our visit to Pancake Rocks was just amazing. Rachel was very informative in her local knowledge and the drive was so very relaxed. Didn’t feel rushed in any way while walking Pancake Rocks, lots of photo opportunities as well. A big thank you to Hokitika Scenic Tours the day was just wonderful thank you."

"Rachael of Hokitika Scenic Tours was an absolute treat to spend the day with and learn from. She took us to the beautiful lake and treetop walk and was happy to take our photo at every opportunity along with providing some rich history and knowledge of the region and small town of Hokitika. The Gorge ended up being the perfect place for a memorable and intimate proposal to my now Fiance!"

"I did the 2 hour tour of the Hokitika Gorge and it was lovely. The landscapes of the West Coast are something else. The plus is really being guided through the site by a local guide. Rachel (owner of Hokitika Scenic Tours) is very nice and arranging and full of informations about the region, the trees, the birds, the local history and maori culture. I recommend booking a tour with Hokitika Scenic Tour."

"Me and my mum who came from Fiji had such an awesome and fantastic time with Rachel touring thru the Hokitika Gorge and the Tree Top walk.Rachel is such a wonderful and lovely person with so much of knowledge and very informative.Thanks for such a Great time in Hokitika!!!"

"Rachel is an absolute legend - when our plans had to drastically change due to my travel buddy’s illness, she gladly drove us up to Greymouth to get to the hospital last minute and showed real compassion. Plus she took me to the Gorge afterward as well, which was a breathtaking place to visit. Amazing woman and amazing part of the world to visit; could not recommend this business enough."

"We took the lake and gorge trip with Hokitika Scenic Tours and we were delighted by the feeling that this was a personalised tour. Rachel was our guide and driver, and we couldn’t have had a more friendly or knowledgeable person. We were not rushed at stops and arrived at each one prepared with what to expect and with time to look around, including time to take the Gorge walk to the viewpoints and swing bridge. This is *not* like being on a tour bus with a guide droning into a microphone, this is a nice roomy van with a local Kiwi who knows the history, the trees, the birds and answers all of your questions as if it were the first time she’d been asked."
