    Best Guide in the World !!! Pihaaaaaaaaa !!!
    Mike is absolutely gem of New Zealand. Wonderful guide, he knows in an out of NZ tourism not just Piha. He was kind enough to accommodate us even when we were two people in the trip, so professional. Just go for it and book it with Trippy. Piha is a paradise and we stayed there overnight it was worth it. Beach is amazing, walk to kite kite falls was exillarating and awesome views every direction. Worth every penny.

    Totally Awesome and a "Must Do"
    It was one of my first trips when I came to New Zealand and definetely one of my highlights! Mike is a really nice leader and explained a lot about history, culture and gave you some tips for beautiful spots around. Spontanously we wanted to climb up a small waterfall and mike led the whole group up there! If you are in Auckland you should definetly do that trip! Even the booking and the payment via paypal was super easy! Thanks to Mike for this wonderful experience!

    This was an excellent trip! Piha is one of the most gorgeous places I've been. Michael had great insight into the local spots and helpful recommendations. Very good price point, too! I was able to afford it as a student traveling abroad on a budget. I definitely recommend.

    I accidentally booked this tour thinking I was just taking a shuttle bus to get out to Piha Beach for a surfing session. Hower, I am very glad I did! The trip was great, with beautiful sight seeing, waterfals and hikes on top of the surfing which I still got to do thanks to Micheal's help. I highly recommend visiting Piha Beach when in NZ/the Nord Island. Taking the tour via Trippy is a great way to learn a bit more about the place during your visit and is a great option for people traveling by public transport who still want to visit this beautiful place as there are no buses going there.

    A trip worth booking - Piha
    Trippy is very responsive to our booking and enquires. We made a change to our departure date just a day or two before our trip and they make the changes for us without charge. We went in August 2019. We enjoyed the tour. The time spent at each area is good for us to explore around, immerse in the nature and for photoshoot. The timing is perfert. Michael is a knowledge guide and he ensure that no one is left behind in the tour group. Highly recommended to book a trip with Trippy.

    Easy day trip!
    My partner and I took the shuttle bus from Auckland to Piha and back in one day. Shuttle was easy to find and a very convenient way to enjoy Piha for two carless folks. Mike was very helpful and willing to share his knowledge with everyone. An absolute pleasure, and 100% worth it.

    Hiking and Beach fun
    My friend and I only had one day in Auckland and chose this tour. It was one of the best experiences we had there. Great tour and guide. He gave great information and freedom to adventure ourselves. He also took the time to drive each of us on the tour to where we stayed. We were skeptical taking a day long excursion, but very happy we did. You will not regret going on this excursion. Kia ora! P.S. We were there April 2019

    All the trip was amazing, is truly a PARADISE! I decided to go with my boyfriend for the full day tour. A lot of information was given along the way by Mike who is very friendly and helpful. We did an awesome walk to the top of a mountain with the most beautiful landscape. There’s no rush as you can enjoy the hiking on you own time and take lots of pictures. The waterfalls were beautiful as well that couldn’t stop to jump inside to feel the water. We had a great day, met nice people in the van from around the world, had best pictures, we forgot sunscreen and they provide us, is like they are fully prepared. We loved the tour!

    The perfect runinion
    After a month apart, my girlfriend came back home from a visit to Colombia 🇨🇴. To spend out first day back together, we took a trip to Piha. We could not have made a better decision. It's was a gorgeous, beautiful day. The bus was full of like minded travel lovers and our driver, mike, could not have been more lovely. His confidence and knowledge of the the Piha area and new Zealand history was amazing and he really made the day special. First we went on a little hike ending with a great view of the beach and the famous lions rock. Next place we went was to a beautiful waterfall. Showing off new Zealand beauty to a T. After we headed down to the beach where we were given a few hours to ourselves to enjoy the late summer sun. Thanks to mike we had one of the best days and a perfect reunion for me and my girlfriend. Thank you again mike. I'm sorry that this covid-19 rubbish has made you have to close down trippy for now. But I'm sure that won't stop you from creating better things for you in your life.

This was my friend and my first trip once we arrived in New Zealand and it set the bar high! It was a great day trip and a perfect way to visit Piha not having transportation of our own.

I did a fantastic trip with Trippy on one of my very first days in New Zealand and didn’t even notice my Jetlag anymore! I wouldn’t want to miss it, totally recommend the company.

I did this trip right before COVID-19 hit. Did the Shutter service and stayed the night before being picked up the next day (I wished I stayed longer!). Best decision and highlight of my trip, especially since I was doing a short backpacking trip and didn't know how to drive this was a great way to get around. Instructions were clear, pick up was fuss free. Highly recommend it, Mike will point out the places to go, and scenic sights along the way. Pick up the next day was easy and right outside my accommodation. Photos up on my Instagram (Same username), feel free to message/ DM me if you plan on heading there after COVID-19 or post lockdown if you want to know more about my experience

Loved this! The perfect way to get out of Auckland and see some of the beautiful West Coast so close by. Mike is an excellent guide and his enthusiasm for Piha and New Zealand in general is infectious. Super social, loads of history tidbits and lots of laughs along the way too. We were only meant to be on the shuttle to and from Piha but Mike was chilled about letting us join in the walks with the tour group going that day due to timing. So glad we did and if we'd known more we would have just booked the tour anyway! Brilliant value for money and lovely staff.

I booked this on the recommendation of a friend, expecting it to just be a shuttle bus, but due to timing issues, Mike kindly let us join in on the day trip. We visited the waterfall, black sandy beach and joined the 1 hour hike before dropping us to our hostel.

Mike was super friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and history of NZ. Would definitely recommend!

Wow. I could not have asked for a better local guide. Mike is knowledgeable, adventurous, and just so down to earth. He’s not your run-of-the-mill tour guide; he’s your friend, your travel companion, the guy you call up and say: ”hey man, let’s go on an adventure.”
My expectations for Piha Beach were high based off what I’ve seen online, and the hike and sight-seeing Mike brought us on surpassed those expectations beyond belief. There are no strict schedules with Mike; he’ll offer up suggestions, but he’ll roll with whatever you feel up for. This was by far the best experience I’ve had in New Zealand, and would rate it 100x over if I could. THANKS MIKE!!
