An amazing experience from start to finish which had been recommended to us by friends. We were a group of 4 & everyone loved it. The hangi buffet was extensive & delicious. Recommend you dont eat much beforehand as there is so much food on offer. It was in a large dining hall & although the venue appeared to be full it was in beautiful surroundings & a very enjoyable dining experience. The show was very emotive & stunning. The performers were so talented & obviously proud of their heritage. There was plenty of seating & everyone had clear views to the stage. The optional night walk to the geysers was so worth it. We had done a geyser tour there earlier in the day but it had a completely different feel at night especially with the coloured lighting…a magical feel. Our guide was so friendly & informative taking extra time to do a Q & A session whilst we sat on some warm rocks. The complimentary hot chocolate was delicious. There was also the option to walk to & from the geysers or catch the little “train” bus. Highly recommend this experience.

Fun experience! Something worth doing with the family! Note that there is about a 10 minute walk including 6 flights of stairs in the beginning. But it’s all downhill from there in the best possible way! Maybe don’t have a big meal before this experience.

The experience was exciting and enjoyable. We had two excellent guides, Ollie and Alina, who were helpful and informative. They were kind and patient with our 5 year old granddaughter and 10 year old grandson. We were told about the local flora and their traditional medicinal properties as well as the local traditions of the land and legends of the local iwis. We were thrilled with the mini aerial aspects of the zip line while being confident we were safe and secure every step of the way. All in all, well done 👍

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.

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!

A very well-organized small group tour covering Wai-O-Tapu, Lady Knox Geyser, and Waimangu Valley. Each stop was unique, with incredible geothermal landscapes and plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed. The Lady Knox eruption was a highlight, and Waimangu’s scenery felt truly otherworldly. Transport was smooth, timing was perfect, and the small group size made the experience relaxed and enjoyable. Highly recommended if you want an efficient and memorable overview of Rotorua’s geothermal sites.

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.
