Reviews: New Zealand Kaikoura Day Tour (Departing from Christchurch, Including Whale Watching Boat Ticket) with Hotel Pickup

Guest User2025-12-28

The fish and chips included in the itinerary were absolutely delicious—the best fish and chips I've ever had! Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to see a whale flip over during whale watching, but we did see countless dolphins, which was truly spectacular! The tour included many scenic stops and views, making the whole trip very enjoyable and relaxing!

Reviews: Skip the Line:WWI & WWII Combo Exhibitions at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre

Guest User2025-11-11

Ok, I'm a modeler and a history buff, so I could focus one the few bad pieces and incorrectly identified items that are mixd in with the good ones. But why would I if there is so much to enjoy here. What a truly great way to tell the story of 1908-1945 aviation and make it accessible to and bring it to life for a broad audience! Well done! The live-sized diorama's breathe life into a broad range of WWI and WWII aviation topics; there are many rare and exceptionally restored aircraft on display; and the personal items on display add a personal aspect to the exhibition that might otherwise be missing. Personally, I would have avoided displaying Gode (repro)awards on the von Eberhard tunic, especially since his actual awards were recently sold at auction; and would have handled some of the attributions and identification of specific individual items more carefully - but those are details, that do not distract from the presentation as a whole, or from the great effort the museum makes to bring history to life. Well done, and well worth a visit!
