wish the whole experience was longer, would love to go on the course twice! safety was emphasized and even if you couldn’t swim, you can still do the activity! guides were super helpful. definitely more fun if you can swim, you go down one small waterfall! they also provide wetsuits and boots so you just need swimsuit/towels only, no need water shoes! you can also pay for photos for 40NZD 😂

Amazing Kayaking + Glowworm cave sightseeing experience. Jacob was a amazing guide and gave us a very detailed information about glowworm. Learn a lot from him. Jacob and his partner were very friendly and helpful. The tour ran smoothly under their arrangement. Excep that my group is a little bit too big.

The experience was absolutely worth every penny. It gave us the opportunity to try something new while feeling completely safe, thanks to their well-maintained facilities and high safety standards. Our guide was incredibly professional, friendly, and always willing to help, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Five stars are simply not enough!

Amazing experience at Rotorua Zipline! From start to finish, everything was top notch. The guides were friendly, professional, and made us feel completely safe while still keeping the energy fun and exciting. The views over the river and forest were unreal.. something you just can’t capture fully in photos. If you’re anywhere near Rotorua, this is 100% worth doing

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 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.
