"You couldn't wish for a better guide than Phil Cross of Far North Outback Adventures for a day trip up Ninety Mile Beach to Cape Reinga. Phil takes small groups (up to 5 people) in his 4 x 4 vehicle. He knows an impressive amount of pre and early European history and gives an excellent commentary. He also supplies toboggans for dune sledging and visits Maori archaeological sites. And he is the only operator who can take a vehicle to Great Exhibitionl Bay. It's a bit pricier than other Cape excursions, but it's worth it."
Publication - Fodor's Travel Publications New Zealand 2006

"Phil provides designer tours for people who want to be personally escorted into the wonderlands of the Far North. His knowledge of history, nature and the people make him a superb host." Kaitaia Wired, November 2003

"Phil Cross, a man with a million anecdotes. He's been around long enough to know all that's going on" Peter Jessup - Overlander Magazine Sept 2002 and NZ House & Garden, Spring 2002
