5.00This 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.

5.00It was a beautiful day! Only thing was the van did not have wifi as advertised. I think I could have done less time at the geyser and more at the spa! The spa was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend taking this tour as it can be hard to get to and from rotorua.
A memorable 12 hour day tour in Rotorua
