My whole family loved it!
yan l5.0Jul 2024What a fantastic tour. It was easy to find our tour guide after getting off our cruise. The operators were very professional and helpful. We are a family with a young child. Even she has thoroughly enjoyed this day trip. We loved the Maui show. Loved the hot spring. The kiwi fruit snack at the end of our trip was a nice “sweet” touch. Highly recommended!Enjoyed Rotorua sights and the wonderful Cultural Center!!!

Ian R5.0Apr 2024The whole tour, very good. Ken our driver was excellent. Te Puia was brilliant, our guide was also very good, the show very good.Te Puia - hot stuff
David C5.0Apr 2024Our driver John was there at the pier to greet us. We were a small party of 7 which was great. John showed us the area of Mt Manganui and then gave us some history about the areas we were passing during the 1.15 hour drive thru beautiful countryside to Te Puia. Our Maori guide Paul was excellent!! So interesting and very entertaining. The geysers are incredible! We went in the Kiwi Conservation centre and were lucky enough to see the 2 resident kiwis. The cultural show was fabulous - the performers really looked like they were enjoying themselves. Paul explained the ritual of opposing tribes and what happens when a battle is suspected. John then took us thru Rotarua and to some geothermal pools where we were able to soak our feet. All in all a really enjoyable day. Would recommend.Tauranga tour
Sandra A5.0Apr 2024We loved this tour not only because of the Maori Culture center but all the landscape of Tauranga and all the way on our tour. Great driver and tour guide I think it was John.
