We had a most unique and unforgetable experience with Bill and Matt from Footprints. We learnt so many interesting things and shared a spiritual connection. They were open hearted, caring, entertaining and witty. It was wonderful to see the respect and devotion they had for Gaia...mother earth.

We had a very good trip to the Kauri trees with a nice Maori guide. We saw the trees by night and that was almost a spiritual experience with Maori songs and music. To see the trees at daytime it is great, but at night is more special - due to the guide. We can recommend this trip! More

A truly wonderful experience, if you don't do anything else in New Zealand, you must do the twilight encounter. It's the most magical and spiritual experience - all credit to Koro & Bill. More
