Absolutely breathtaking and unbelievable Mother Nature!!!! I was traveling alone without a car, so I wasn’t sure how to explore Rotorua efficiently. Then I found this tour that covers both Wai-O-Tapu and Waimangu Valley, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! Without a car, it’s not easy to get to those places, and the entrance fees can add up — so joining a small group tour with a van was not only super convenient but also reasonably priced. I did the tour today and absolutely loved it! Around 8 AM, the guide picked us up right in front of our accommodation. There were just about five people in the group, and the guide was fantastic — very friendly, outgoing, and constantly sharing interesting facts and stories. He drove safely, created a warm and fun atmosphere throughout the trip, and even offered to take lots of pictures for us, so I ended up with amazing memories captured! What made this tour stand out was how efficient everything was — the time was managed so well that we got to enjoy everything without feeling rushed or missing out. We spent about an hour at Wai-O-Tapu, and since we arrived early in the morning, it felt like a private tour with almost no other tourists around. Then we watched the Lady Knox Geyser for about 20 minutes — that was really fascinating too! We also stopped by a beautiful mud pool, and the guide told us fun stories about native plants like manuka and kanuka, as well as various birds — all really engaging! At Waimangu Valley, we walked for about an hour and a half. As promised, a shuttle was waiting for us at the end of the trail and drove us back to our original pickup point. We returned to the city by 12:30 PM, and it felt amazing to have such a rich and exciting experience in the morning and still have the entire afternoon free to relax. It was truly a tour that was satisfying in both quality and quantity! What I loved the most was that the guide didn't just drive us — he actually walked with us the whole time, leading the tour and explaining everything in detail. It made the experience so much more informative, engaging, and enjoyable. I was genuinely impressed and completely satisfied! I highly, highly recommend this tour — and the guide was simply the best! An absolute highlight of my trip!

I am glad I was able to fit this tour of Waimangu and Wai O Tapu on my last day in Rotorua as both of these areas were a highlight of my time in this city. Our tour guide was terrific in explaining what we were seeing around both of these sites, and was engaging to listen to. Definitely sign up for this tour when visiting Rotorua.

A very exciting tour our guide told us a lot of interesting things and was very nice! The group was very small, so the tour was also very pleasant. Very well organized and you could see a lot, take a lot of photos and learn a lot. Very nice, highly recommended!
