⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Day Exploring Rotorua What an incredible day from start to finish! My Mum and I booked the Auckland to Rotorua tour, visiting Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland and Te Puia, and honestly, it exceeded our expectations. The journey from Auckland is a long one, but having David as our tour guide made every minute worthwhile. He was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, patient and genuinely passionate about New Zealand. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable, included and had an amazing experience. Our first stop at Wai-O-Tapu was absolutely breathtaking. The geothermal landscape is something you really have to see with your own eyes. From the bubbling mud pools and steaming fumaroles to the incredible colours of the Champagne Pool and Artist’s Palette, it felt like we’d stepped onto another planet! 🌋✨ We then headed into Rotorua, where we had a little time to explore and grab some snacks before continuing to Te Puia. Te Puia was another highlight. Walking through the geothermal valley and seeing Pōhutu Geyser erupt was incredible, but experiencing the Māori culture was what made the day truly special. The traditional arts, carving and weaving, the stories, songs, poi and especially the powerful haka gave us a much deeper appreciation of Māori culture and heritage. 🇳🇿❤️ But I have to give a special mention to David. Tour guides can completely make or break an experience and David absolutely made ours. His knowledge, personality and genuine enthusiasm brought everything to life. He didn’t just drive us from one place to another, he told stories, answered questions, looked after everyone and made the entire day feel personal. My Mum and I came away with beautiful memories, lots of laughs and a much greater appreciation for New Zealand’s natural beauty and culture. If you’re visiting Auckland and have the opportunity to do this tour, DO IT! 🙌🏽 And if you’re lucky enough to have David as your guide, you’re in for an absolute treat! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you, David, for making our day so memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! 🇳🇿❤️ 10/10 experience and highly recommended! 🌋🖤

We’ll definitely be passing your kind words on to him! It’s also wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed both Wai-O-Tapu and Te Puia.

And the volcanic valley is surreal and David stopped at wonderful unique Bird sanctuary and few local famous food stops they are fantastic as well.

Jason was fun and friendly. He was very knowledgeable. Gave us pointers on where to stand for better video/photo ops, etc. The places we went were absolutely awesome. So glad I got to see it all in one day. Black swans, bubbling mud ponds, brilliant mineral lakes, Maori performance and tour of the school. Kiwi birds, geysers, and more. Had a wonderful time. The bus ride was long but 100% worth it.
