El barco en sí lleva el nombre de la ciudad india de Bombay (ahora Mumbai). Bombay Significa: una raza de gato negro de pelo corto y tamaño mediano.
Nos detenemos para tomar un buen café a su cargo y un descanso reconfortante antes de continuar nuestro viaje hacia la región de Waikato.
También pasaremos por la ciudad única de Tirau (la capital mundial de la escultura de hierro corrugado) conocida por sus tiendas de antigüedades y edificios de hierro corrugado con forma de animales.
Sea testigo de los feroces guerreros que navegan en la canoa de guerra por las tranquilas aguas del arroyo Wai-o-Whiro y sumérjase en ricas representaciones culturales como Wero, Pōwhiri (bienvenida tradicional maorí), Waiata (canción), Mōteatea (canto tradicional), Poi, Haka y mucho más. La asombrosa actuación cultural le enseñará sobre las antiguas artes del tallado y el ta moka (arte del tatuaje), mientras que las exhibiciones de armas y combate le harán comprender por qué los maoríes son considerados guerreros tan temibles. Se sorprenderá del nivel de emoción que causará una vista tan simple: ¡es realmente asombroso y escalofriante! Buffet, la deliciosa comida tradicional hangi con sabores distintivos y una preparación única del pueblo maorí cocinada en un horno de tierra, un agujero de 1 a 2 m en el suelo, las cestas de kai (comida) se colocan sobre piedras calientes en el fondo de un pozo hāngī.

Un paseo por este entorno surrealista de aspecto lunar ofrece la oportunidad de presenciar algunas de las maravillas volcánicas y una amplia gama de oportunidades para tomar fotografías increíbles en lugares únicos, como la mundialmente famosa piscina Champagne, fuentes termales y frías de colores naturales, el baño del diablo, barro burbujeante, suelo humeante, vistas panorámicas, enormes cráteres volcánicos y formaciones de terrazas sinterizadas. Con una experiencia colorida, nos llevamos nuestros recuerdos de regreso a Auckland.

This is our first time engaging ExperienceKart for a guided tour to Mitai Village and Waiotapu Thermal and we had nothing but a blast! We were greeted by our super friendly tour guide, Mr Karthik at the meeting point and he put us all at ease from the get go. He was such a gem, providing us with nuggets of information all through our drive from Auckland hotel to Rotorua and his enthusiasm kept us all engaged on the tour. The tour van was super comfortable and came with foldable tables for us to eat our snacks and breakfast in the van. We highly recommend Mr Karthik and his company for anyone interested in this tour and we will definitely come back for more!

Kia Ora. Outstanding! Karthik was a wonderful host and tour guide. So kind and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our experience, it was the highlight of our NZ trip. Will definitely be back and looking for Karthik to show us more. We were a bit hesitant to go on a tour, but it was so worth it, Karthik educated us so well, a 5 star review doesn't do him justice, should be 10! Also, to be noted, we felt really comfortable and safe travelling with him, what a great driver! (And I am a renowned terrible passenger!!) Thanks so much Karthik, well be back! Shane & Alana from Aus.

The Māori experience was educational, fun and interactive. I’m a First Nation Ojibwe woman from Ontario Canada and there are similarities in our cultures and beliefs. The feast of traditional Māori food was delicious. The interesting features like the champagne pool, craters and blowholes and rock formations in the geothermal area was something I’d never experienced. Karthik has a wealth of knowledge that he gladly shares with the group. Karthik’s driving skills focused on safety for us all.
Kia Ora Larry, Thank you for such a meaningful and heartfelt review, it truly means a lot to us. We’re so glad the Māori cultural experience resonated with you, and how special to hear you could connect similarities with your own First Nations heritage. It’s those shared stories and values that make these moments even more powerful. We’re delighted you enjoyed the geothermal landscapes as well, they really are unlike anywhere else in the world. And we couldn’t agree more about Karthik, his passion for sharing knowledge and ensuring a safe, comfortable journey is something we’re very proud of. Thank you for choosing to travel with us and for sharing your experience so beautifully, it was a privilege to be part of your journey. Ngā mihi nui, The ExperienceKart Team
EVERYTHING about this tour was 10/10. I was very moved with the Mitai Maori Village demonstrations/performances and the lunch was better than i expected! I was hesitant to sign up for the Wai-o-tupa geothermal tour but my husband and I are SO GLAD we did it! We didn’t have much time at the Agrodome sheep farm but it was still very interesting. Our guide, Karthik, was very professional & friendly! His vehicle was clean & comfortable for the long ride (equipped with wifi) and he shared a wealth of knowledge about NZ. He takes great photos too!
Kia Ora Sandra, Thank you so much for your incredible 5-star review, it truly means the world to us! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that every part of your day was a 10/10 experience.

Our trip to the Mitai Māori Village and Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland was perfect. The cultural insights at the village were captivating, and the geothermal activity with its colourful pools and surreal, lunar-like environment was absolutely intriguing.

Highly recommend you request Karthik as your tour guide. He provided excellent information during the trip that made the 3 ride both enjoyable and educational. The Māori performance was quite entertaining as the performers and hosts gave an authentic show. And, the FOOD! Served buffet style, was quite plentiful and tasty. The trip to the Waitipi geothermal park was very fascinating. I just wish the photos could provide the true “aromas” we experienced! LOL. Even though the ride out and back was three hours each way, it was well worth it! Overall, I highly recommend this tour and Karthik as your guide.
Kia Ora Robert, Thank you so much for this fantastic and lovely 5-star review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the experience and your comment about wishing photos could capture the “aromas” of the geothermal park made us smile! 😄 Karthik will be delighted to know that his insights helped make the three-hour journey each way both educational and enjoyable. We’re so glad the Māori performance felt authentic and entertaining, and that the buffet hit the spot; the food is always a highlight! And yes, Wai-O-Tapu’s dramatic colours and bubbling landscapes (and unmistakable scent!) certainly make for a memorable visit. We truly appreciate your strong recommendation and are so pleased you felt the full-day journey was well worth it. We’d love to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures across Aotearoa!
