5.00This is our first time engaging ExperienceKart for a guided tour to Mitai Village and Waiotapu Thermal and we had nothing but a blast! We were greeted by our super friendly tour guide, Mr Karthik at the meeting point and he put us all at ease from the get go. He was such a gem, providing us with nuggets of information all through our drive from Auckland hotel to Rotorua and his enthusiasm kept us all engaged on the tour. The tour van was super comfortable and came with foldable tables for us to eat our snacks and breakfast in the van. We highly recommend Mr Karthik and his company for anyone interested in this tour and we will definitely come back for more!
Great tour company

5.00Kia Ora. Outstanding! Karthik was a wonderful host and tour guide. So kind and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our experience, it was the highlight of our NZ trip. Will definitely be back and looking for Karthik to show us more. We were a bit hesitant to go on a tour, but it was so worth it, Karthik educated us so well, a 5 star review doesn't do him justice, should be 10! Also, to be noted, we felt really comfortable and safe travelling with him, what a great driver! (And I am a renowned terrible passenger!!) Thanks so much Karthik, well be back!

Rotorua has many highlights particularly the shared Māori cultural activities that are most interesting and accessible.

4.00The Māori experience was educational, fun and interactive. I’m a First Nation Ojibwe woman from Ontario Canada and there are similarities in our cultures and beliefs. The feast of traditional Māori food was delicious. The interesting features like the champagne pool, craters and blowholes and rock formations in the geothermal area was something I’d never experienced. Karthik has a wealth of knowledge that he gladly shares with the group. Karthik’s driving skills focused on safety for us all.
awesome from start to finish

5.00EVERYTHING about this tour was 10/10. I was very moved with the Mitai Maori Village demonstrations/performances and the lunch was better than i expected! I was hesitant to sign up for the Wai-o-tupa geothermal tour but my husband and I are SO GLAD we did it! We didn’t have much time at the Agrodome sheep farm but it was still very interesting. Our guide, Karthik, was very professional & friendly! His vehicle was clean & comfortable for the long ride (equipped with wifi) and he shared a wealth of knowledge about NZ. He takes great photos too!
Interesting,intriguing,informative.

5.00Our trip to the Mitai Māori Village and Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland was perfect. The cultural insights at the village were captivating, and the geothermal activity with its colourful pools and surreal, lunar-like environment was absolutely intriguing. The entire tour was a fantastic experience, made even better by our guide, Karthik. He was incredibly friendly, dedicated, and entertaining, offering impressive expertise.
Wonderful tour and guide

5.00Highly recommend you request Karthik as your tour guide. He provided excellent information during the trip that made the 3 ride both enjoyable and educational. The Māori performance was quite entertaining as the performers and hosts gave an authentic show. And, the FOOD! Served buffet style, was quite plentiful and tasty. The trip to the Waitipi geothermal park was very fascinating. I just wish the photos could provide the true “aromas” we experienced! LOL. Even though the ride out and back was three hours each way, it was well worth it! Overall, I highly recommend this tour and Karthik as your guide.
