Fantastic tour with funny az driver Tim.. added a bit of laughter to the journey with wonderful knowledge of the area.. learnt some new things 😆 👍 It was awesome having a drive and then plunging into the beautiful lakes. Well worth the monies for 2 hours of awesome experience
Tim was the perfect guide. His information and humour were great. This was an amazing experience. Love the tour around the Lake Rotorua then going into smaller lakes was awesome. Such a great trip.
We had a brilliant day, very entertaning and loved all the interesting facts from our wonderful tour leader A-ARon. Awesome vibe, beautiful area to explore.
A great tour for the family to see Rotorua. Our guide Tim was brilliant and his witty demeanor made it all the better.
The host was amazing, he kept the full entertainment on and a great tour, my kids love the tour specially in the lake, the whole experience was really enjoyable. thank you
W Tim, W Duck Tour, W Storytelling, W Spotify Playlist P.s I think Tim was a comedian in his past life 😂 that mans was on fire 😂😂🔥
Awesome experience. Just took the mokos to experience the amphibious vehicle but got so much more. Captain Ian was so knowledgeable about the local Māori history and also about the conservation of the flora & fauna of the area encompassing it under kaitiakitanga. Captain Ian delivered his commentary with humour and drew his audience in with their duck whistles and the singing. Loved the music to introduce going onto the water etc. Well done.
We had a great time, unique experience and Aaron was exceptional guide. Highly recommend
Amazing host, lots of information about the area and made it funny for the adults and kids.
It was great, second time for us oldies but this set of grand kids loved and they enjoyed Matt’s humorous commentary, we will be back again as on other grandchild to go.
