We joined the Rotorua tour with CheekyKiwi Tours and had Jeoff as our driver/guide. He was professional, friendly, and made the journey enjoyable with his humor and stories. Wai-O-Tapu’s geothermal wonders were breathtaking, the Polynesian Spa was the perfect place to relax, and the Rotorua city tour gave great local flavor. Jeoff’s care, attentiveness, and knowledge made the day unforgettable. Highly recommend both CheekyKiwi Tours and Jeoff!

Absolutely loved the Hobbiton Movie Set Tour—it truly felt like stepping into Middle-earth! The scenery was breathtaking, the guides were knowledgeable and entertaining, and every little detail of the set was beautifully preserved. The stories behind the filming locations made it even more special. The bus ride from The Shire’s Rest was smooth and well-organized, and the complimentary drink at The Green Dragon Inn was such a perfect ending to the tour. Highly recommended for both fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, or anyone who enjoys nature and storytelling. Definitely worth it—a must-do in New Zealand! 💚

Claiming the booking is very easy. The guide was funny and very nice. We took the trip in late fall so it was very cold because of the wind when the duck is moving. The lakes are majestic.

I can't recommend this tour enough! The small group of six was a dream – it felt like a private tour. Matt, our guide, was incredibly attentive and friendly. He made everything effortless, from clear instructions to personalized drop-offs. I especially appreciated how he shared interesting tidbits about the local areas while driving, it made the journey so much more engaging. The Whakarewarewa Village cultural show was captivating; I was truly moved by the performances. And the Polynesian Spa? It was the perfect ending to the day, so incredibly relaxing. Matt's genuine care and the unique experiences made this tour unforgettable.

The tour guide was great – humorous, engaging, and really went above and beyond. Paired with the beautiful weather and scenery of Rotorua, the whole experience was wonderful.

Although it was a sunny day on the day of the visit, the temperature was not high. Walking in the geothermal valley, I felt that the temperature was very comfortable. The park provided a generous buffet (a meal cost more than NT$1,000, but we did not eat it). Most of the food uses geothermal heat. Steam it so that tourists can taste the taste of food cooked by geothermal heat.
