Our tour was spectacular. Our tour guide Adil was extremely knowledgeable about New Zealand. He was very friendly and professional and provided just the right amount of commentary. His passion for New Zealand was abundant. The glow worm cave was incredible and the hot springs and geysers in Rotarua were amazing. It is a long day with a lot of driving, but well worth it.
Great day away from the city

We had a great experience with Warren our tour guide. We were just a small group of 4 so it was perfect to interact. The pick up at the hotel was on point, it was a 12 hours tour due to the long distances but it was all worth it especially with the amazing landscapes all around. We stopped at the cave first and then headed to the Geothermal site and the Maori craft center. It is not a short ride but if you are in Auckland for a few days I totally recommend booking this type of tour.

Quite a drive from Aukland, but absolutely worth the time and the money! The scenery on the drive is beautiful: endless green fields, luah forests and picturesque towns. Floating on a boat at Waitomo glow worm caves, I felt like I could reach out an touch the stars. The ceiling and walls of the caves twinkle with glow worms! The Rotorua geothermal pools and geysers are otherworldly. I "windbathed" in the mineral rich steam blowing in puffs of cloud from the geysers. Our guide, Aiman was excellent; knowledgeable and friendly and he stopped so we could get fresh blueberries and ice cream on the way home. The tour company was great to deal with.
Worth the Day!

We went on a true adventure with our tour guide and driver David, Pinky and were informed about the journey of the Māori People. We feel we received more than our money’s worth. The Culture Center is a must do.

This tour went way beyond our expectations and was a wealth of information we believe we received from our driver and guide David, Pinky. He pampered us on the long ride from Auckland and back sharing his Kiwi personal experience and family’s heritage from arrival to present day. We would highly recommend his company and him for an enlightening experience

Four of us recently did a day trip from Auckland with Tania to Rotorua and the Glow worm caves. There was just the four of us so it was great. It was a big day but it really was excellent. Tania was a great guide. Her local knowledge was extensive and we had plenty of stops along the way……. The scenery from Auckland was pretty spectacular and we would definitely recommend this company. So much nicer than being ‘a number’ on a big bus.
