Cosas que hacer en Taupo

Hemos visitado casi todas las atracciones alrededor de Rotorua, como: Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, Blue Spring, Huka Falls y el lago Taupo. Lo que más nos impresionó fue la excelente calidad del agua y del aire en Blue Spring y Huka Falls; nos encantaron estos dos lugares.

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!

The Huka Falls boat ride, the friendly explanations from the guides, and the activity itself were truly thrilling and highly satisfying! If I were to rate just the tour itself, it was such an enjoyable experience that it easily deserves 5 stars. However, there was a significant issue with the photo and video package we purchased additionally on-site. When we checked it at home, the video was of completely different people, not our group, and about half of the photos were mixed with pictures of strangers. It was very disconcerting to find someone else's data when we intended to preserve our precious memories. Fortunately, before leaving for our trip, I revisited the site and spoke with a staff member who acknowledged the mistake and promised a full refund. However, despite receiving confirmation last Thursday that a refund of 45.9 New Zealand Dollars ($45.9 NZD) would be processed, several days have passed, and the refund has not yet been completed, leaving a slightly unresolved feeling. (There might be a delay due to credit card processing, but the process seems a bit slow.) I highly recommend the boat tour itself, but for those purchasing photos or videos on-site, I strongly advise checking immediately to ensure the files are correct. If the refund process is completed smoothly, it would be an absolutely perfect tour.

Fue la mejor idea para terminar un día en Taupo. Los guías y la tripulación del barco fueron muy complacientes, amables y muy informativos. Me gustó lo claros que son los altavoces del barco, lo que permite escuchar los comentarios o al guía en cualquier lugar.

¡Una experiencia súper perfecta! Muy adecuada para que toda la familia disfrute de un paseo en barco y admire el paisaje 🌊 ¡El clima a finales de marzo fue excelente! ¡El cielo azul y las nubes blancas hicieron que las fotos salieran preciosas! A bordo se ofrece café y té gratuitos, y también se puede comprar alcohol 🍺🥂 La experiencia del crucero dura una hora y media, se pueden ver los grabados en las paredes de piedra, y la tripulación también realiza una demostración de pesca de truchas (aunque en nuestro grupo no se pescó nada). Hay platos de pescado para comer y también se ofrecen gofres. Todo el viaje fue súper relajado y divertido. Vimos paisajes muy hermosos. Me encantó este itinerario, la tripulación es muy amable y la relación calidad-precio es excelente. ¡No dejen de probarlo!

¿Qué mejor manera de celebrar un año más (y no más sabio)? Tuve al mejor compañero de paracaidismo en Nathan Purver, quien hizo que un salto desde 12000 pies de altura pareciera un agradable y tranquilo paseo por el jardín. Mis nervios, que de otro modo habrían estado por las nubes, estaban relajados al máximo, todo gracias a Nathan, ¡quien estaba tan tranquilo como el viento allá arriba! Todo el equipo fue extremadamente amable, cálido y amigable, y nos guio a través de todo el proceso como si fuera el primer día de jardín de infancia. No puedo recomendar este lugar lo suficiente.
