Saker att göra i Taupo

Jag har besökt nästan alla sevärdheter runt Rotorua, som Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland, Blue Spring, Huka Falls och Lake Taupo. Det som gjorde starkast intryck var Blue Spring och Huka Falls, med deras fantastiska vatten- och luftkvalitet. Jag gillade verkligen dessa två platser.

Att besöka Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland var fantastiskt. Vår chaufför, Herns – 86 år gammal – var otroligt humoristisk, uppmärksam och gav utmärkta kommentarer under hela resan. Han körde mycket smidigt, vilket gjorde resan ännu trevligare. Fordonet var det bekvämaste vi upplevde i Nya Zeeland. Om du är på väg mot Taupō är detta definitivt transporten att boka!

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!

We had an amazing tour experience with Trent! From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome with his warmth, hospitality, and genuine kindness. He was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire tour and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. What we appreciated most was how knowledgeable he was about the history of the places we visited. He shared fascinating stories and insights that helped us better understand and appreciate each location. Thank you, Trent, for making our trip so memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and engaging tour guide. We would gladly tour with him again! 😊

This experience is 10/10. Scott (our driver) was so funny and his experience and depth of knowledge really shined through the experience.A little scary, I sat at the front and I am a smaller build so definitely during the spins I had to hold on REAL TIGHT 😆 Side note: I would recommend a light breakfast. I have motion sickness and towards the end, I wasn’t feeling the greatest but I think that’s just a me thing. It was so fun, got to see the waterfall up close and everything. Do it !!

Det var den bästa idén att avsluta en dag i Taupo. Guiderna och de på båten var alla tillmötesgående, vänliga och mycket informativa. Jag gillade hur tydliga båtens högtalare var, vilket gjorde att man kunde höra kommentarerna eller guiden var som helst.

En superperfekt upplevelse! Mycket lämplig för hela familjen att åka båt och njuta av utsikten 🌊 Vädret i slutet av mars var fantastiskt! Blå himmel och vita moln gjorde bilderna otroligt vackra! Ombord fanns gratis kaffe och te, och man kunde även köpa alkohol 🍺🥂 Båtturen varade i en och en halv timme, man kunde se sniderier på klippväggarna, och besättningen visade hur man fiskar öring (även om vår grupp inte fick någon fisk). Det fanns fiskrätter att äta, och även våfflor. Hela resan var superavkopplande och rolig. Vi såg vackra vyer. Jag gillade verkligen den här resan, besättningen var mycket vänlig och prisvärdheten var extremt hög. Kom och prova det!

What better way to celebrate turning a year older (and none the wiser)!! I had the best skydiving partner in Nathan Purver who made a jump from 12000 ft high up in the air seem like a nice, leisurely stroll in the garden. My nerves, which would have otherwise been ballistic, were relaxed AF to say the least, all thanks to Nathan who was as cool as the wind up there! The entire team was extremely nice, warm and friendly who took us through the whole process like day 1 of being kindergarteners. Cannot recommend this place enough.
