The entire geothermal area has been very well preserved in its natural state, but it's actually a bit boring. Basically, you enter the park and then just walk around following the arrows, much like hiking. You read the informational signs as you go. Due to limited time, we didn't explore the entire area, only the orange route. Since we were with a small tour group, we couldn't cancel this part of the itinerary, so we had no choice but to buy tickets and enter. If I were driving myself, I probably wouldn't come here.

The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. It was fascinating to learn about the history and behind-the-scenes details of the set. The scenery was stunning, and there were plenty of opportunities to take memorable photos. The comfortable luxury van made the journey relaxing and pleasant, allowing us to sit back and take in the beautiful scenery along the way.

Klook pass does really save you some money and it's easy to also book the attractions. Just be warned that the standalone package dates and time availability is different from the klook pass

Experience: You can easily learn about Maori culture! If your English is good enough, don't miss the Q&A session; listening to the questions others ask is also a great way to gain some knowledge! Activity schedule: Check in first, find your table number, and be seated -> Host's opening introduction -> Performance -> Dinner -> Q&A time -> Glowworm viewing -> The end!

We had such a wonderful time at this hot spring. The atmosphere was peaceful, the water temperature was just right, and the surroundings made the experience even more special. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

The entire sheep show was very entertaining. If you don't understand English, you can use a translator. The show had many interactive segments with the audience, making the whole experience very enjoyable. After the show, a tractor will drive us around different parts of the farm to see various farm animals like sheep and alpacas, and you can also feed them for free.

This tour exceeded my expectations - Alan was very knowledgeable, passionate and thoughtful, ensuring that we got the best shots and were well taken care of. Most importantly, he was a super careful and safe driver, which is so rare for such long drives. Thank you!
