Enjoyed seeing all the geothermal springs and the Haka performance. Would recommend this guided tour to anyone who wants to enjoy the beauty and wonders of nature.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased you enjoyed experiencing Rotorua's incredible geothermal landscapes—they really are unlike anywhere else. It's also wonderful to hear the haka performance was a highlight of your day. Sharing both the natural beauty and the rich cultural heritage of this region is what makes this tour so special. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope we'll have the chance to welcome you back to explore more of New Zealand in the future!
The whole tour is wonderful: the geysers are magical and impressive, the local community has a culture that can be appreciated without seeming anything forced and the pace of the tour is very cool. But the best of the ride was Jason as a driver, as he is well-humored, with good energy and drove everything in a light way leaving the fatigue of the long journey less. What I recommend to those who want to explore more of the city is to stay one more night in Rotorua after this tour and try to return in the following days. I think that expands the experience and contact with the beautiful there.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the geothermal wonders, the authentic cultural experience, and the relaxed pace of the tour. Jason will be thrilled to hear your kind words—his positive energy and sense of humour really do make the journey special. We also appreciate your great suggestion about spending extra time in Rotorua. It's something we'd recommend too, although with so much to see across New Zealand, we know fitting everything into one trip can be a challenge! Thank you again for recommending our tour, and we hope to welcome you back for another Kiwi adventure soon.
Great experience of Maori Culture and preservation of Kiwi, amazing geyser and Haka show all in one area. If you have limited time, this is where you should go.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so pleased you were able to experience so many of the special things that make this place unique—from learning about Māori culture and seeing our kiwi, to witnessing the incredible Pōhutu Geyser and enjoying the haka performance. It means a lot to hear you'd recommend us to anyone short on time, as that's exactly the kind of memorable experience we hope every visitor leaves with. We hope to welcome you back again someday!

Very quick day, but full of so much! I chose the Te Puia side trip, and was really happy with the balance of the day! I wish we had an extra hour or so to swing by the redwoods too, but the tour was well organized (long drive tho!) and got to see lots of cool things in one day!

Long day but worth the trip. There are different options. So, choose carefully. The Māori site and cultural show were wonder. The show had beautiful musical numbers and the Haka dance. Geysers were amazing. Plenty of time to walk around the steam vents and mud pools.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re so pleased to hear that, although it was a long day, you felt the experience was well worth the trip.

We appreciate your advice for future visitors to choose the option that best suits their interests and schedule. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
