Traveler Reviews

Exellent and knowable guide. The Cultural Show vas very interesting and the Geothermal area beautiful.

Exellent and knowable guide. The Cultural Show vas very interesting and the Geothermal area beautiful.

Loved this excursion! Our guide was very knowledgeable on the area. The whole tour was lovely. My favorite was the Maori cultural performance, such beautiful traditions. The i was able to try kiwi fruit ice cream at the kiwi fruit orchard, which I liked, and traditional Hangi at the cultural site.

The Rotorua Cultural and Geothermal Experience tour was a lot of fun. Seeing geysers, boiling lakes and a Maori cultural village with a very entertaining show were interesting and fun. Paul, our tour guide was very helpful, and extremely informative. For someone who has only a brief time to spend in the Tauranga area, this tour provides an excellent overview of the New Zealand native culture, and its unique topography.

Worth every cent. Performance was entertaining and educational. The geysers and mud field were interesting. A school showing their artistry and of course a gift shop. The facility had a full service restaurant as well as a small Cafe for take away. The grounds are beautiful.
