We had an amazing morning with Del. Skippers Canyon is stunning, the drop offs are precipitous and the waters of the Shotover river are a crystal mountain blue. The car was fabulous, clean, comfortable and perfect for this tour. Del was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We would highly recommend this tour and Del.

What a fantastic experience going up the skippers road canyon with Del, absolutely amazing landscape and Del's your man for very entertaining stories and wealth of knowledge on the history of the area. Lovely comfortable vehicle. By far the best trip we have done in New Zealand. Highly recommended.

Great, reliable, friendly, fun guide. Del made us feel very safe. He has lots of knowledge of the area and is enthusiastic about sharing it. Scenery is spectacular. Would like to go again when snow is there. Would highly recommend 4 wheel drive expeditions :-)
