We used Trip Advisor for all of our tours in New Zealand. They all worked out great!

I agree that the lines are crazy long in Pahia. Both lines for the tender and the bus into town will very long and very hot with no sun protection. We just got back and did the RCCL Waka canoe tour. It was fun and interesting, and you get to see a traditional Waka greeting. You don't have to row the whole time, they have motors, if needed. One thing that Royal did not tell us was that you really need waterproof shoes. No one and a large group had them and we had to walk on hard shells to get into the canoe. The tour company told us to just get our shoes wet because it will hurt your feet, but we wanted to walk around Pahia after the tour. I ended up taking my shoes with me on the canoe and only having to walk a few steps barefoot. The tour operator has begged Royal to add water shoes to their description, but they haven't yet.

What about over the counter supplements, like Calcium, Vitamin E, etc? Do we need the original bottles for those as well? We buy extremely large bottles and was hoping not to worry about the big bottles. We use the tiny plastic bags as well when we travel. Will we be questioned since they are not prescription? We take quite a few different supplements. We would rather bring those in our carry ons in case our luggage is lost. Any advise?

We just got back and rented through Affordable car rental. Nils was great to work with and he had the car waiting at the port. We were given a code and the key was in a lock box on the car. We were able to get an early start and we were the first ones to the dog sled camp of Michelle Phillips. We spent a lot of time learning about the Iditarod and playing with the puppies. Highly recommended. Tagish Lake Kennel tours, Join Michelle Phillips And Ed Hopkins Affordable car rental can also pack you a picnic lunch. They own Bites on Broadway in town. We printed out a copy of Murrays guide and did our own thing all day. We did not get asked for ArriveCan, but make sure you stop at the red light coming through customs. There was no one there, so we pulled up to the window. I guess that was a big no no. We parked in town after our drive a shopped for a while, then retuned the car back to the port--no walking required. Highly recommended!
