We loved the guide/driver’s insights and information about each of the sights we visited. Toby is great. He would take us to small, out of the way sights that were very significant for our enjoyment. Quick stops at the kiwi farm and at several key vantage points for excellent views of the countryside. It was a great day and we really appreciate his preparation for our trip.

Terry was knowledgeable and friendly that made the tour an amazing experience. Tauranga is a beautiful port with loads to offer be it nature or cultural experiences. Will be back!
Richard_O, Mar 2024
Kerry was a wonderful driver/guide on your journey around Tauranga. Because of his love of New Zealand and the area where he was born, he conveyed enthusiasm and excitement for sharing the journey with us. Every element of the tour highlighted another aspect of this area. Highlights for us were a visit to a kiwi farm and the Māori cultural show. We highly recommend this all-day tour from our cruise ship with an easy meet-up to start the tour and a return right on time.

Douglas_T, Feb 2024
All of the places visited were fantastic. Kiwi fruit farm, blue and green lakes, the Māori village welcome. Ceremony and the close up visit to the geyser, boiling mud and water.
Mike_W, Jan 2024
Our driver/guide, Thierry, was very knowledgeable and engaging. The tour was fascinating and we were mesmerized by our chance viewing of a Maori funeral procession. However, we were quite surprised by all the commercial and residential development surrounding the Rotorua geyser field.

Toby was a wonderful guide... very knowledgeable and personable and really looked after us. The entire experience was wonderful and I would highly recommend anyone visiting the Tauranga area to book this day trip. The Mauri village and performance was very interesting and also culturally enlightening.

Fabulous day! Kerry was an excellent tour guide and driver. We saw everything we wanted to see and got into areas the big buses couldn’t. Can’t beat this small group tour! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks again Kerry for a great day!
Julie_W, Jan 2023
The whole day was memorable, and although we have toured in this area before, this was a much better tour. It was relaxed, informative and allowed us to see the best of Rotorua. Our driver Kerry was friendly and very approachable and shared his vast store of information and experience of this wonderful region.
