All Rotorua Tours & Excursions in 2026

The adventure of a lifetime! Jack was an incredible guide and with his expertise we felt safe experiencing this thrill on our trip. The crew educated us about the rapids and ensured we were safe at all times. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience. A must do if you are in Rotorua!

The guided Te Puia trip was set up well and was a fun experience to learn about Maori culture. The staff at the facility were kind and supportive. I especially remember the walk about the natural volcanic spring, seeing how big the dodo was, and observing the different Maori artifacts in their exhibit.

Here’s a positive review you could use: Our experience at Hobbiton was absolutely magical! From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping straight into Middle-earth. The gardens were immaculate, the hobbit holes were incredibly detailed, and every corner was picture-perfect. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour both fun and informative with stories and behind-the-scenes insights. Finishing the tour with a drink at the Green Dragon Inn was the perfect way to end the experience. Even if you’re not a huge Lord of the Rings or Hobbit fan, this is a truly unique experience that showcases the beauty of New Zealand and the amazing craftsmanship behind the movie set. Highly recommend adding Hobbiton to your bucket list – it was worth every minute! 🌿🏡🍺✨

Our visit to Mitai Maori Village was absolutely excellent and one of the highlights of our trip to Rotorua. The experience was both entertaining and educational, and we learned so much about Māori culture and traditions. The performances and cultural show were incredible, and you could really feel the passion and pride throughout the entire experience. The buffet dinner was also excellent with plenty of delicious options to enjoy. They also have a wonderful gift shop with great souvenirs to help remember the experience. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Rotorua and wanting an authentic and memorable cultural experience! -Chef Roy

We travelled as a group of five adults. It is suitable for all degrees of mobility. Dietary restrictions were taken into account. The welcome ceremony at the start of our visit underlined the importance and spiritual significance of said ceremony. The cultural experience prior to the meal was wonderful. It was a joyful evening and the performers appeared to enjoy it as much as the audience. It gave an insight into Maori history and culture in a very acceptable way without the audience feeling like they were attending a lecture. I would highly recommend this experience.

Great experience. Staff are fantastic with people using mobility aids, except you need to go to the Ageodome first to collect actual tickets and then drive to the Hatchery, if a visitor uses Mobility Aids. This made us late for the start of the tour, even though we arrived 10mins early at the Agrodome. Actual experience and information provided was good quality and we had the chance to ask questions. We managed to see a 3 day old kiwi in the Hatchery area, as well as an adult male & female in indoor habitats.

Make sure you come before 1015am to go to the Lady geyser. They do a fun ceremony and add soap to make it explode. It was really neat! You can go straight to the geyser parking lot and they scan your ticket there. No need to go to the visitor center before. The walking path around the hot springs in well maintained and the hot springs are big and beautiful.

This was a fantastic experience! It was fascinating to see the many different varieties of sheep and a sheep shearing demonstration! All of it was done with humor, which made it fun. Seeing what the dogs were able to do was amazing as well! The icing on top of the cake was taking the trolley pulled by the tractor around the farm and being able to feed the sheep and alpaca! It was also great to see how kiwi fruit grow as I had no idea! I would recommend this to anyone who has a chance to visit Rotorua in New Zealand!
