Things to do in Te Puia - Rotorua, NZ

very educational and informative. it was a multi-part experience that lasted beyond 9pm. food was good too! so happy to finally have food that isn't dry eg fish n chips.

took my partner to Hobbiton for our wedding anniversary & it was an amazing experience. You have a private tour guide once you hop on the bus going to the set and you get to go inside the Baggin’s house. Also, 1 free drink at the Green Dragon Inn after the tour. We chose this combo cuz I want to see cultural dance (extra fee) and after the show you’ll have a private guide to walk you around. I recommend to continue walking the long way back after seeing the largest geyser. You’ll find a hidden gem. It was a 10hrs trip but you won’t get bored when you head back to the van cuz Liam interacts with everyone, there’s bottled water if you’re thirsty, he’s got protein bars and chips to snack. He did a servo stop aswell when we requested. As a person who works in tourism and does the same job as him, his service is 10/10 he even recommend a dinner place for me & my partner and even drop us to the resto! So thank you Liam 🫶🏻

Lovely place! The guide is friendly and helpful. and the bus leaves on time so make sure to be there 10mins early before your selected time

it was fun activity after a hike. the hot water soothes the body ache from the hike. the pools and shower area are clean. the staff are nice and helpful.

Great experience! We exchanged our tickets directly at the ticket counter. The tour guide was friendly and polite, and there was plenty of time for taking pictures. Highly recommended.

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! 💚

Without the guided tour, it would have taken much longer to arrive using public transport. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and it's a great way to see the attractions around Auckland in a short amount of time. I recommend it to friends. The only downside is that the road was quite bumpy, so it's easy to get carsick.🤣

The only downside of this tour is the early 5:45 am pickup, which can be tiring. However, you can sleep on the bus 💤, as the journey is quite long, allowing you to rest. The destination includes three attractions. The first one, where you must see the fireflies, is worth visiting. The second attraction is the indigenous people's handicraft school, where you can also see New Zealand's Kiwi bird. The third attraction is the sulfur eruption, which is also worth seeing and can give you skin that looks 20 years younger! 👍🏾 Overall, it's quite comfortable, with transportation provided throughout, as well as coffee shop stops for rest, snacks, and restroom breaks! The vehicle itself can accommodate 11 people, so it's comfortable if the group is small. The tour guide and driver are the same person (GRANT). He clearly guides you to the attractions, specifying departure and meeting times! He explains what's fun about the attractions. Additionally, he provides information on the bus, pointing out and describing the local scenery. 👍🏾 I think this Klook tour is great; the small group size is perfect! It's also very punctual!
