Taupo

I've visited almost all the attractions around Rotorua, such as Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland, Blue Spring, Huka Falls, and Lake Taupo. What left the deepest impression were Blue Spring and Huka Falls, with their incredibly pristine water and air quality. I really loved these two spots.

ওয়াই-ও-তাপু থার্মাল ওয়ান্ডারল্যান্ড পরিদর্শন করা অসাধারণ ছিল। আমাদের চালক, হার্নস — ৮৬ বছর বয়সী — অবিশ্বাস্যভাবে হাস্যরসপূর্ণ, মনোযোগী ছিলেন এবং পুরো যাত্রা জুড়ে চমৎকার মন্তব্য করেছেন। তিনি খুব মসৃণভাবে গাড়ি চালিয়েছেন, যা ভ্রমণটিকে আরও আনন্দদায়ক করে তুলেছে। গাড়িটি ছিল নিউজিল্যান্ডে আমাদের দেখা সবচেয়ে আরামদায়ক। আপনি যদি টাউপোর দিকে যান, তবে এটিই নিশ্চিতভাবে বুক করার মতো পরিবহন!

We are a honeymoon couple who took your tour from March 16th to 17th. We departed promptly at 5:50 AM from the pickup location near our hotel. Our guide, Michael, was incredibly kind to us, despite our limited English. He was also an excellent driver and managed the entire itinerary perfectly. He is witty and knowledgeable about New Zealand and Maori history, providing excellent explanations. The itinerary itself was fantastic. We primarily visited Waitomo Caves, Hobbiton, Wai-O-Tapu, Huka Falls, and Hamilton Gardens. In addition, Michael introduced us to and allowed us to explore other worthwhile spots along the way, such as Lake Rotorua, Arapuni Suspension Bridge, and a viewpoint to see Huka Falls from above. We were very satisfied with this tour as it allowed us to visit all the places we had planned to see since we were in Korea. As a small suggestion regarding the itinerary, we spent about 20 minutes at Huka Falls, which is a spectacular sight, so it might be good to allocate more time there. (It's a good idea to be aware of the long travel times when booking.) We found out about our hotel on the day of arrival. We were assigned to Ibis, but they upgraded us to Novotel. The location was right next to Eat Street, so we could easily find dinner nearby. Michael recommended Polynesian Spa, which we visited after dinner. Luckily, we were able to book and use it on the spot, which helped us relieve our fatigue after a tiring trip. We highly recommend this tour to anyone considering it, and we extend our sincere gratitude to Michael for making our Auckland trip so wonderful!

We had an amazing tour experience with Trent! From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome with his warmth, hospitality, and genuine kindness. He was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire tour and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. What we appreciated most was how knowledgeable he was about the history of the places we visited. He shared fascinating stories and insights that helped us better understand and appreciate each location. Thank you, Trent, for making our trip so memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and engaging tour guide. We would gladly tour with him again! 😊

Nice stay, lovely and clean, comfortable bed. We also enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant, which was very nice. Would definitely stay again.

This experience is 10/10. Scott (our driver) was so funny and his experience and depth of knowledge really shined through the experience.A little scary, I sat at the front and I am a smaller build so definitely during the spins I had to hold on REAL TIGHT 😆 Side note: I would recommend a light breakfast. I have motion sickness and towards the end, I wasn’t feeling the greatest but I think that’s just a me thing. It was so fun, got to see the waterfall up close and everything. Do it !!

It was the best idea to end a day in Taupo. The guides and the ones on the boat were all accommodating, friendly, and very informative. I liked how clear the boat's speakers are, allowing you to hear the commentary or the guide anywhere.

An absolutely perfect experience! It's great for families to enjoy a boat ride and admire the scenery 🌊 The weather in late March was fantastic! The blue skies and white clouds made for beautiful photos! The boat offered complimentary coffee and tea, and alcoholic beverages were available for purchase 🍺🥂 The boat tour lasted an hour and a half. We saw carvings on the rock walls, and the crew even demonstrated trout fishing (though our group didn't catch any fish). There were fish dishes available to eat, and muffins were also provided. The entire trip was incredibly relaxing and fun. We saw some stunning scenery. I really loved this tour; the crew was very friendly, and it offered excellent value for money. You definitely have to try it!

What better way to celebrate turning a year older (and none the wiser)!! I had the best skydiving partner in Nathan Purver who made a jump from 12000 ft high up in the air seem like a nice, leisurely stroll in the garden. My nerves, which would have otherwise been ballistic, were relaxed AF to say the least, all thanks to Nathan who was as cool as the wind up there! The entire team was extremely nice, warm and friendly who took us through the whole process like day 1 of being kindergarteners. Cannot recommend this place enough.
