Kaewa Tours - Martinborough Wine Tour - Earlier this year my wife and I went on this wine tour. Absolutely marvellous! Tom was the perfect host, picking us up from our hotel In Wellington and looking after us superbly throughout the day. We were in New Zealand - visiting from the UK - for several weeks and there were lots of highlights but the Martinborough Wine Tour was right up there - a truly memorable day! We started the tour at C’est Cheese in Featherston and then on to the Le Gra Vineyard in Masterton - run by Brian and his lovely family - excellent wine and excellent food! After this we went to Greytown Honey - wonderful tasty honey and we couldn’t resist buying some. Then on to Poppies Vineyard in Martinborough - a different experience and some lovely wines. We went back to Wellington via Kaitoke Regional Park where the Rivendell scenes from the Lord of the Rings films were shot. Stunning! We had a wonderful day that we will never forget. If you are planning to be in the Wellington area for any time at all we strongly recommend that you contact Tom at Kaewa Tours for a memorable experience.

Amazing day - Amazing. Beautiful scenery with a variety of stops to interest many. The food was wonderful. I was traveling solo and felt very comfortable as a single female traveler. Wonderful day. Worth adding to your trip.

Stunning views and landscape. Great tour guide!!! - Had a wonderful day with Tom @kaewatours. Very knowledgeable and excellent guide. Would highly recommend this all day adventure. We’ll worth it!!!

Patti and daughter Maddie’s wedding crew! - It was a fantastic day! The views while driving were amazing and Tom pointed out so many interesting things. There was a bit of everything. A relaxing lunch at a winery, a lighthouse and seal colony, and a small trek into a park to see a Lord of the Rings filming site. It was a wonderful way to relax and enjoy how awesome New Zealand is!

Highly recommended - My wife and I had a wonderful day trip with Tom exploring the beautiful Wairarapa region. Tom is super friendly, knowledgeable and well-organised. We tasted the delicious local cheese, honey, chocolate and wine, observed the seal colony on the way to cape palliser and walked up to the lighthouse to enjoy the spectacular view of the southernmost point of the North Island. On the way back to Wellington in the evening, Tom managed to lead us check the Lord of the Rings' scenes in Kaitoke Regional Park as the weather was not good in the morning. Knowing we're still in Wellington the day after, Tom offered us a complimentary drive to the top of Mt Victoria. I highly recommend Tom and Kaewa Tours if anyone plans to spend one or more days in and around the Wellington area.

A highlight of our month in New Zealand - The tour was fascinating, including sightseeing along the coast, wine tasting, lunch and even a drive thru Wellington. As delightful as the tour was, it was our guide, Tom Collier, who really made it special. He is everything you would hope for in a tour guide- entertaining, knowledgeable, friendly, a very good driver and very responsive to our particular interests. We highly recommend the tour and, especially, Tom Collier.

Fantastic, personalized tour - Tom was a fantastic guide. Not only did he know the region, he was able to personalize what he talked about to our interests. We even took some side tours for additional LOTR scene spotting. I was most excited to see the seals and they didn't disappoint. Tom was enthusiastic and excited to share the area with us. When looking for a tour of the area definitely book with Kaewa Tours!

Fantastic experience - Such a great tour with an amazing tour guide! Apart from a well planned exciting day, there were so many small personal touches before, during and after tour! An absolutely great experience and fantastic photos and memories for years to come!

Exceeding expectations - Tom was a really great guide and everything about this tour exceeded expectations. We visited some beautiful spots and always felt that we had the ability to tailor the experience to our needs. The lighthouse and seal colony were truly beautiful and were the pinnacles of the day.

Seal Roost and Lighthouse Tour - The tour guide was very polite and attentive to each location. There were exchanges and brief introductions along the way, especially to the distant seal habitat and lighthouse. The seaside scenery was excellent and the trip was pleasant. At the end, the tour guide gave me a gift chosen by my wife before leaving. I really appreciate his kindness.
