Excursão de um dia em grupo pequeno pelos destaques de Rotorua saindo de Auckland com almoço

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!

I can only say, I booked the right one! The driver, Joseph, was incredibly thoughtful, with a very pleasant voice. He patiently shared and introduced all sorts of things about New Zealand along the way, making sure everyone understood and was safely returned to their hotel. I felt very well taken care of! The driving habits and rules are quite different from Taiwan, so getting to know them from someone familiar made me feel relaxed and able to absorb everything effectively. He gave me 3 hours to fully enjoy the geothermal hot springs in the morning, which was absolutely amazing. Just remember to bring your swimsuit. Klook's pre-trip notifications and activity descriptions didn't mention what to bring (I looked in many places and didn't see it), perhaps this could be improved! All in all, it was a truly high-value itinerary. Highly recommended as the top choice for visiting New Zealand!

I just wanted to give a shoutout to my awesome tour guide, John! He made the trip to Rotorua unforgettable with his great knowledge and fun stories. The views were stunning, and the extra stops he added along the way to Wai-o-Tapu were a nice surprise. We even made it in time for the Lady Knox Geyser show (not in the itinerary), which was perfect! Plus, those quick photo breaks were a blast. At the end of the day, John was super thoughtful and dropped us off a little bit away from our pick-up location to keep us dry from the rain. Overall, this tour was definitely a highlight of my New Zealand trip—thanks, John!

Today's trip was a tour package to Rotorua, where we visited Wai-O-Tapu and Te Puia. Wai-O-Tapu is a geothermal landscape, truly like God's palette 🎨. The vibrant colors are incredibly spectacular. Another highlight was the Champagne Pool, which looked absolutely dreamy. The scenery here is truly unique. In the afternoon, we went to Te Puia. It was a pity there was no show in the afternoon; otherwise, we could have watched a traditional Maori performance. We first visited the Kiwi conservation area within the park. There were two super adorable kiwi birds! It was my first time seeing a real kiwi bird, and it was much bigger than I imagined XD. The park also features a volcanic geyser. Seeing it in person was absolutely magnificent!!!!! Actually, the time spent at each attraction was a bit short. The drive alone was about 7-8 hours round trip 😂, and we only had about 3 hours to explore the attractions. Nevertheless, it was a great experience! The driver also thoughtfully provided water, snacks, and apples.

must go if you are a fan of mother nature. Worth to visit! Walk through this realm of primal energy, where the Champagne Pool shimmers like a liquid jewel, its edges gilded with oranges and greens, as if the sun itself dissolved into its depths. Nearby, the Artist's Palette spills forth in strokes of cobalt, emerald, and sulfurous gold-a masterpiece forged by mineral alchemy and time.

It was really amazing to see the geyser, thermal park and understand the Maori culture. The burger lunch is delicious too.

Cheeky Kiwi's tour drivers are excellent. Since each traveler's itinerary is not exactly the same, the drivers are very skilled at arranging pick-up and drop-off times for everyone, ensuring perfect transfers. The geothermal landscape is well worth seeing. The Redwood Forest offers a unique experience of traversing suspension bridges among the trees. Lunch is self-funded at cafes or food stalls at the attractions.

The Waikato countryside will be replaced with commentary during the journey. Most of the time will be spent traveling to Te Puia. People who chose various options are in the car. While we visited the geothermal park, others visited the Government Gardens. According to the itinerary I saw at the time of payment, we visited Lake Rotorua, Te Puia, and the Polynesian Spa. We were unable to visit the rest. The price is high compared to the satisfaction. However, thanks to the kind guide, the satisfaction level is still high.

It was a mixed group of people who booked different tours, so we had to spend extra time stopping and waiting everywhere. Other than that, the tour itself was great, especially the spa.

Suitable for a day trip to Rotorua without driving, it's a place with relatively distinctive North Island New Zealand characteristics, worth visiting if you're in Auckland, even though the admission fee is not cheap. For cultural attractions, Te Puia's 90-minute basic tour is recommended; for natural geothermal landscapes, Wai O Tapu is recommended, where you can stay for 105 minutes to complete all three trails, which takes at least an hour and a half. The one-way journey, including breaks, takes 4 hours. It was a small group of 16 people, mainly American and Australian tourists. The car was very new, and the guide/driver talked a lot, which might make some Asians feel a bit uncomfortable.
