Really nice experience with cultural significance and relaxing spa. Jason our guide was excellent, such a funny and personable guy!
Thank you for the lovely feedback! We’re really glad you enjoyed the experience and got to appreciate both the cultural side of the day and some time to relax at the spa as well — it’s such a great combination. Jason will be so happy to hear your kind words. He’s always bringing plenty of laughs and energy to the tour, and it’s great to know he helped make the day even more enjoyable for you. Thanks again for joining us — we really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review!
It's a really great relaxing trip with a small group of people around 10. Everywhere looks great as attached pictures. Tour guide Jaime is funny, reliable and experienced. I will recommend this trip to my friends.
Thanks so much for your kind words! Really glad you enjoyed the relaxed vibe of the small group—it does make the day feel a bit more special. Jaime will get a kick out of this too, he’s great at keeping things fun while making sure everything runs smoothly. Sounds like you got some awesome photos as well! Appreciate the recommendation, and hopefully we’ll see you (and your friends!) again sometime.
We booked this tour last minute because our previously planned tour was canceled. We were so fortunate that this was still available as it was a phenomenal experience for the family. As others mentioned, it was a long drive from Auckland but Te Puia is truly a special place between the amazing scenery and the delightful cultural experiences. My pre-teen/teenage daughters particularly enjoyed the Polynesian spa with the beautiful views of the lake while relaxing in the pools. The cafe there was a good spot for a quick lunch (we were surprised that the rolls came warmed up with a very nice small salad and chutney) and the setup for lockers and showers was very well done.
Thank you so much for sharing this — we’re so glad the change of plans worked out in your favour! Sometimes those last-minute decisions turn into the most memorable days. It’s lovely to hear your whole family enjoyed the experience, especially your daughters. Te Puia really is a special place, and finishing the day at the Polynesian Spa with those lake views is hard to beat. We’re also glad the little details — like the café and facilities — made the day comfortable and easy. We truly appreciate the recommendation and are so pleased we could help turn a cancelled tour into such a special family memory.
Loved this tour was interesting and had a great feel for the NZ culture. Highly recommend. Absolutely loved NZ.
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour and got a real feel for New Zealand’s culture. It’s wonderful to hear you loved your time here — really appreciate the recommendation!
Excellent trip. Long drive but worth it. Jaime our driver was great. Very accommodative. Enjoyed the day
Thanks so much for your review! I’m really glad to hear you had an excellent trip. It is a long drive, but happy it felt worth it in the end. Jaime will be pleased to know you appreciated how accommodating he was. So glad you enjoyed the day.
Matt did an excellent job as our tour guide and getting us from site to site, ensuring we were comfortable and ready to get the most we could out of the experience. Great full day tour with several choices to suit everyone!
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear you had such a good day and that Matt took great care of you throughout the tour. It’s always our goal to make sure everyone feels comfortable and can enjoy the experience in their own way. Wonderful to know the different options worked well for your group.
This trip was amazing and I 100% recommend. First, we stoped at a small cafe on the way there to get breakfast. Then we traveled to rotarua. We were taken on a tour of the Māori workshop and then we got to go and see kiwis in an enclosure which was definitely a highlight. We then walked to the geyser and got to watch it erupt. After that we watched a Maori performance which was amazing. Then we were taken to the Polynesian spa, where there was a cafe to get lunch. The spa was amazing, with a variety of different temperature hot pools. Although the bus journey was long, the bus driver was very informative and very interesting, making the journey even more enjoyable.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this! We’re really glad you had such a great day and got to enjoy all the different experiences — from seeing the kiwi birds and geyser to relaxing at the spa. It’s awesome to hear the journey itself was enjoyable too, thanks to our guide. Appreciate the recommendation, and we’d love to have you join us again sometime.
18.4.25. WOW. The tour was incredible, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Jason our tour guide was very kind and made sure we had the best experience (despite the very wet weather) - even singing happy birthday to the 2 of us on the trip. Very thankful. It was easy enough to do our own things but the comfort of knowing our transport was sorted. Both activities, I believe was a good amount of time. If I could do another tour again, I would! 10/10.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic experience, even with the rainy weather. Jason will be so happy to hear your kind words, and we're glad he could make your day extra special by singing Happy Birthday! It’s great that the balance of time for both activities worked well for you. We’d love to welcome you back on another tour anytime—thank you for the 10/10!
I was initially unsure if this trip would proceed since they contacted me the day before, saying they hadn't met the minimum participant requirement. However, at the last minute, they confirmed it would go ahead as planned. I ended up joining a small group of four others who were visiting a neighboring Māori village, but aside from that, the experience remained the same. Our tour guide, JJ, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and handled unexpected challenges with ease. The first stop was Te Puia, where I got to see incredible geothermal features like a boiling mud flat and an active geyser. While there, you also have the chance to see kiwis, which I surprisingly didn’t even manage to spot later at the zoo in a separate trip! Next was the Polynesian Spa, and just a heads-up: the description doesn’t specify this, but you’ll be doing the Deluxe Lake Spa, which includes four natural hot springs and a cold plunge bath, all set outdoors with a breathtaking ocean view. I recommend bringing a swimsuit, though I believe they have rentals if needed but towels are provided at no extra cost. (Also, if you bring your own swimsuit, keep in mind that the natural springs contain sulfur, so your suit will have a lingering smell afterward!) Meals aren’t included, and while the rest stops felt a bit rushed, I still managed to grab enough to eat throughout the day. If you're unsure, bringing a small snack might be a good idea. Overall, it was a great experience with unique sights and relaxing moments—definitely worth it!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're so happy to hear that, despite your initial concerns, you had a fantastic time on the tour. It’s great to know that JJ helped make the experience enjoyable and handled any unexpected challenges with ease. We're also thrilled that you had the chance to explore the geothermal wonders of Te Puia, including the geysers and mud flats, and that you managed to spot the kiwis! We appreciate your helpful tip about the Polynesian Spa. We're glad you enjoyed the Deluxe Lake Spa with its stunning views and natural hot springs and thank you for mentioning the sulfur smell on swimsuits—such valuable advice for future guests! We also truly appreciate your understanding of the meal stops. While we try to keep everything on schedule, we know it can sometimes feel a bit rushed, so your suggestion to bring a small snack is a great idea. It means a lot to us that you found the experience worthwhile and enjoyed the unique sights and relaxing moments. We would love to welcome you back on another tour in the future! Safe travels,
