  This was a fantastic tour company my guide was Clive he was fantastic. Super friendly, knowledgeable. Really wonderful tour we saw so much. The mudpools, where the pink and white terraces would have been. Because Clive was so amazing I learned a lot about the area. The history was fascinating to learn about. How the craters and everything was formed. We got to see lady Knox which goes off everyday around 10am that was so cool to see. And then as I booked the full day I went to the cultural center Te Puia that was so fantastic I learned alot. I even got to see Kiwis.

  Elite Tours guide Shaun picked us at our hotel on time and we enjoyed a small group tour. Shaun was very informative at each location we visited and during the drive time in between stops had terrific info and some jokes. We joined Clint in the afternoon and had an equally wonderful experience. All the places we visited were amazing and beautiful, the information plentiful. We felt well taken care of during our tour and happily recommend this tour company.

• Good cultural and geothermal experience

  Phil picked us up at our motel and we did the full day tour for a more complete experience. We were guided around the Wai O Tapu geothermal area for an hour. Then to Lady Knox Geyser, which was way too crowded. The best thing was the girl singing during the bubbly eruption. The walk through Waimangu Volcanic Valley was great to see how the valley has changed since the eruption in 1886. We only had to walk down the valley as there was a bus there to take us back up. Lunch at visitors center was just okay. When we dropped some people back in Rotorua, Phil took us to a Maori community in town to see where people live- a nice extra touch. We then went to Te Puia, which had an extensive geothermal area as well as an arts and crafts institute where we could watch Maori artists work and see examples of finished projects.

  Our tour guide was Phil who was fantastic. We visited some amazing geothermal sites and he was very knowledgeable about the geology and nature, giving us great info at each lookout point. He also gave us insight into how the local population harness the geothermal energy for their homes and energy needs which was very interesting to see. We also visited the Volcanic Valley and Phil guided us through the history of its creation. He also knew many cool facts about the flora in the area. Beautiful views throughout. Great day spent outdoors and thanks again to Phil for being a great host.

  AMAZING, UNIQUE, BEAUTIFUL, MEMORABLE🌋❤️🌟 Im a huge nature lover! Whether thats geology, beaches, mountains, wildlife, the ocean, or volcanoes! So these were some unreal experiences and places to see! Also what undoubtedly added to our experience was our guide Clint. Absolutely FANTASTIC - Whatever you’re paying him, pay him more lol! Super knowledgeable about the area, geology and history, answered everyone’s questions with enthusiasm (even if he’s probably answered the same ones 1000 times) & a great sense of humour! Our bus even had an issue at one point too (something to do with fluid) but he sorted it while we were at Te Puia without issue or added delay, so wouldn’t have even known there was a problem. Absolutely recommending this to all and any friends that I hear are travel to New Zealand in the future! I don’t normally leave reviews unless im genuinely blown away. This is only the 3rd reviews I can recall making (and im 32 countries travelled and counting) To anyone reading this - DONT MISS THIS!🤩🌋 Thanks guys!

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• If you have transport, not much to be gained from your. If you don’t consider half day your rather than full day

  The tour was rushed . Would suggest leaving out Lady Knox and spending more time at the other sites visited. I did no feel we got much added value from the tour as the sites had good information boards and spent our time better. I think guides variable. There was not much gained by doing afternoon cultural visit as part of the tour as guiding eas done by the moati village

• Great overall experience / cramped bus

  Tour guide Phil was great. Surprised by the large number of geothermal sites we saw. The topper was in the afternoon geysers with waterfall. Only negative was the bus was cramped and in some seats the wheel-well.took away foot space. But drive times are short so it is manageable. Highly recommended.
