Went for a Waiotapu & Polynesian Spa at Rotorua tour from Auckland with Jamie as the tour guide. Although the journey was far, the destinations were wonderful. Time allocated for both places were adequate to enjoy. Water and snack was also provided which was great. There were also stops for toilet and coffee
Thanks so much for sharing this—we really appreciate you taking the time. Rotorua is a bit of a journey from Auckland, so it’s great to hear you felt it was well worth it and that you had enough time to properly enjoy both Waiotapu and the Polynesian Spa. Jamie will be really happy to hear your feedback—he’s great at pacing the day so it never feels rushed while still making sure everything runs smoothly. Glad the little touches like the snacks, water, and comfort stops along the way made a difference too. Thanks again for coming along with us, and we hope to see you back for another adventure sometime!
This is a great day trip! You share the day with a group but everyone splits to do different things in Rotorua. I honestly had no idea there was so much to do! You’ll be up early for this one, but it’s worth it. I did the geothermal pools and the thermal spa - love it. I also got the see a bit of the redwood forest because of a drop off and timing allowed me to catch the cultural show for a nominal fee (if your combo doesn’t include the village but you get the chance to see the show, go). The coach is comfy and David was determined to make sure everyone had a good time and was accommodating in all things. If you’re in two minds, book this. It’s a great day trip and worth the early wake up.
Thank you for such a detailed and honest review — we really appreciate it. Rotorua surprises a lot of people with just how much there is to see and do, so it’s great to hear you made the most of your time there. An early start isn’t always easy, but we’re glad it paid off! The geothermal pools and thermal spa are hard to beat, and it sounds like you timed it perfectly to squeeze in the Redwoods and the cultural show as well — that’s a full day done right. David will love reading this. He genuinely cares about making sure everyone feels looked after, so your comments will mean a lot to him. Thanks again for the encouragement to future travellers — and for choosing to spend your day with us.
Jason was a nice tour guide who made a point to speak to everyone and learn all names. He shared a lot of facts along the tour and was also pretty funny. Wai O Tapu was cool to see- we had time to explore on our own. The Polynesian Spa was nice, but a bit boring. I am not sure I would book that option again given the price.
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We’re really glad you enjoyed the day with Jason — he’s great at connecting with everyone and keeping things informative (and fun), so we’ll be sure to pass that on to him. It’s also nice to hear you enjoyed Wai-O-Tapu and having time to explore at your own pace. We appreciate your honest comments about the Polynesian Spa as well. That kind of feedback is genuinely helpful for us when looking at how we present and price our tour options. Thanks again for joining us and taking the time to share your experience.
The guide was very accommodating and I enjoyed spending time with the other participants. Thank you for taking me back to where I wanted to be.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re really happy to hear that you felt well looked after and enjoyed spending time with the rest of the group. We’re also glad the drop-off arrangement worked well for you. We hope to welcome you again on another tour soon with Expedigo Travels 😊
The experience was fantastic. From the moment of pick-up from my hotel the guide Aaron was engaged and informative. He shared many interesting facts about each area we drove through along the way to our destination. The Waiotapu Thermal Park was great to see and the Polynesian Spa hot spring pools overlooking the lake were absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for sharing such a lovely review! We’re so glad you had a fantastic day. Aaron really enjoys sharing his knowledge, so it’s great to hear how much you appreciated the stories and insights along the way. Waiotapu and the Polynesian Spa are special highlights, and we’re happy they made your day so memorable. Thanks so much for the recommendation.
So relaxing, enjoyed the heated beds and the beautiful scenery, several spa bathes to enjoy, passed on the polar plunge but many were doing it
So glad you enjoyed it! The heated beds and scenery really make it such a peaceful place to unwind, and having a choice of different spa pools is a treat. Skipping the polar plunge is totally fair — it’s fun to watch others be brave! 😄 We’re happy it was a relaxing and memorable experience for you.
We had a great day with Davide exploring Rotorua and it’s geothermal wonders despite the rain in the morning. The afternoon visit to the Polynesian Spa was very relaxing. David was a great and knowledgeable guide who went out of his way to make this day special. I highly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much for sharing this. We’re really glad the weather didn’t stop you from enjoying Rotorua and its geothermal sights, and that the afternoon at the Polynesian Spa gave you time to truly relax. Davide will be happy to hear how much you appreciated his knowledge and the extra effort he put in to make the day special. Thanks for the recommendation — it means a lot to us.
Super great! David is a very amazing tour guide. He is patient and professional. He keeps the whole group loads of fun and energetic. The whole group likes him a lot. We enjoyed a great day with David!
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. We’re really happy to hear how much your group enjoyed the day with David. He has a great way of keeping everyone engaged, relaxed, and having fun, and he’ll be thrilled to know the whole group felt the same. We’re so glad you had such a great day together.
Aaron was an outstanding tour guide who made the entire experience unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend this delightful and relaxing tour to anyone seeking a memorable adventure.

It means a lot that you found the experience both relaxing and unforgettable. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope the rest of your time in New Zealand is just as wonderful!
David is such a nice guy. Very personable and knows a lot about New Zealand and about Auckland with a touch of his personal stories which is very entertaining. I also forgot my phone in the van so I contacted the operator who then contacted David and just after a few minutes, he arrived at the hotel. The entire tour was a great experience. We went to extra places that were not part of the tour but were already on the way. What a great way to end the day at the Polynesian Spa. This is a 10 out of 10 stars.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! David will be thrilled to read this — he really is one of those genuinely kind people who loves what he does, and it shows in the way he shares his knowledge and stories. We’re so glad he was able to get your phone back to you so quickly too! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the little extra stops along the way and that the day ended perfectly at the Polynesian Spa. We truly appreciate your 10/10 and are so happy the tour made such a memorable impression. Hope we get to welcome you again on another adventure soon.
