    Hi Jannike, Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic 20-day adventure with Ben and your fellow travelers. It’s wonderful to know that you felt safe, well taken care of, and got to experience so much of New Zealand’s breathtaking nature—especially those hidden gems you might not have found on your own. Ben truly has a knack for creating special moments, and it’s awesome that you enjoyed the beach bonfires, BBQs, and, of course, all the classic Kiwi slang and pranks! We really appreciate your high recommendation and would love to have you back for another adventure someday.
