Our driver and tour guides, Stephen & Marina were excellent. They were very knowledgeable about the areas that we drove through. The commentary was great. Our driver was a very good driver. The tour of Rotarua was amazing. The boiling mud, the geisers and the Maori traditions were all so interesting. And then we stopped off at a park and a waterfall which were delightful.

What 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!
