Definite Must Do!
Kimberly_H, Feb 2024
Brandon was awesome! The tour had 14 people who were doing different experiences, but Brandon managed it all perfectly. He also helped rearrange the van when we had a couple of motion challenged riders. Rotorua and Te Pui were wonderful experience and we are so glad we did this trip. Highly Recommended!
Rotorua group tour
Jaymee_T, Jul 2023
Awesome. From on-time pick up of the tour guide to the whole trip, we had a blast! The concert, visit to the kiwi, weaving, sculpture, geyser, and lunch, were amazing. We had so much fun. Thank you for the experience :)
Māori cultural show
Daisy_L, Apr 2023
Māori cultural show is highly recommended for first time visitor. Buffet lunch is normal. Hence, not recommended. Not enough time for gift shopping. Overall rating is good.
A must do excursion
Liz_F, Nov 2022
This was an extremely interesting excursion. Te Puia was the vest cultural center we have seen. The welcoming ceremony and performance inside were very well done and informative. The sacred artwork and Māori educational center were fantastic. The geysers were beautiful. Seeing a kiwi was a check on the bucket list. The lunch was delicious, lots of choices with vegan options. Our driver was great. We learned a lot about the Māori culture and appreciated all they shared it was extremely interesting. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Wow! Sounds like you had an incredible day. Not many people get to say they've seen a kiwi in real life! Hope to see you again in the future.
Never again

The points we scheduled to visit were great. The tour guides that were subcontracted were very, very bad.
