    It was great. I thought that paying $100 for a three year old and a four year old was EXCESSIVE. It put a bit of a sting into the experience, in fact. Also, I have a suggestion: It would be great to have a 'cut out' of the duck where we could sit behind it and have our photo taken. We can't do it when it's parked at the side of the road because we can't enter the vehicle without the guides. Once the guides arrive, we're off . . . so it would be great if we had a place to take snap shots that had a mock up setting. (Like what they have for the luge toboggans at the Gondolas. We took some great pics there of the children.)

    Sean was an awesome guide, funny and has a great sense of humor. Some of the "dad jokes" he says sarcastically are really well scripted and adds great value to the trip. Got to be the best trip I've ever been on and I've done most of NZ
