We had the pleasure of taking a 1-day tour with Mateo and it was an amazing experience! Mateo was extremely knowledgeable about the local bird species and their habitats, sharing fascinating insights into the behavior and ecology, making the tour not only enjoyable but also educational. His kindness and patience were also greatly appreciated, as he took the time to ensure that everyone in the group had the opportunity to observe and learn about the birds we encountered (and he took photos for us!) We can't waitforourreturn!

We were in Dunedin for a day when we met Mateo, the nicest, most genuine tour guide, full of local and national knowledge. Mateo has deep roots in Dunedin and shared a bit about his familys history in the area (dating back 150+ years). A true naturalist with a wealth of info to share about the birds, wildlife and culture. The tour was excellent value but beyond that our day touring Dunedin with Mateo remains one of our favourite New Zealand memories.

Mateo is a top bloke and made this one of our favourite experiences in New Zealand. This is a must do in Dunedin and a once in a lifetime experience. The trip was an intimate insight into the history, lifestyle and wildlife of the South Island. During our encounter we got close and personal with the endangered yellow eyed penguin, a gang of seals, blue penguins and seabirds. We couldn't recommend Mateo and the team at UntamedNZ enough!

We thoroughly enjoyed Mateo's wonderful guided tour though Orokonui Ecosanctuary. Mateo went above and beyond to customize the tour for us. It's so much fun and refreshing to learn about the stories behind the birds and plants. We were truly impressed by Mateo's wealth of knowledge and genuine passion for nature. It's definitely the highlight of our Dunedin trip and we can't stop talking about it. If you are ever in the area don't miss the opportunity to be inspired by Mateo and his love for nature.
