Showing NZ dollars and charging US dollar while payment. - You are showing lowest price than direct booking but when its comes payment, you are charging US dollars so i had to pay around 6 dollars converting change and us dollars convertable nz dollars, total extra NZ dollars than the direct booking price. This really cheating. I have lost 30 NZ by booking with your site.

Fun but only 30mins - Good fun and glad we got the 11am special for $85, it's only 30mins and about 5mins is the safety talk. Good fun if you haven't done it before. Hosts are great.
