very informative
Wiremu/William was a great guide. Very informative, happy to answer questions as you walk around. No reading from a script.

Dissappointed
The tour was very rushed at the Museum. The lady that took us through Was very serious and did not put any humour into at all. Then we went to get our fish and chips and the museum had bugged up with order so got on board ferry without food as it was lunch time was not a good start. Went on ferry to island only to be shut in a room with department of conservation for 15 mins checking bags, pockets etc to see if we had brought mice or rats with us. Stayed on island for 10 mins and promptly caught the next ferry back to get our fish and chips. Sadly thinking this would be a high point was not to be. Fish was shark which was dry and tough to eat. Would not recommend this tour at all if travelling to Wellington.

Enjoyable tour and walk
Friendly, knowledgeable tour guide for the museum tour. Learnt about the Matiu/Somes Island before heading out on the boat. Great walk around the sanctuary and seeing some beautiful fauna. Not quite enough time to visit all the museum and had to go back to look at all that was to see.

Superb and special
A very enjoyable experience, as a history lover I appreciated every moment of what made it a special experience was Emma, who was wonderful to show me around the museum and was patient enough to answer my questions. A truely awesome person with lots of knowledge around the history of Māori around the Somes island. Thank you Emma for all your fantastic work and for making this experience a very memorable one. I strongly recommend this for those who have a limited understanding around the history in NZ. Thanks to Emma for breaking it down streaming and passing the history so easily .She really makes it so easy. The fish and chips was such a great treat, great way to have lunch on a ferry!
