What a great trip it was for me and my friends. We visited Arataki Cultural and Heritage Visitor Centre then Piha, the black sand beach. The beautiful landscapes of the Waitakere Ranges was breathtaking. And finishing our day with a sumptuous meal at a winery what can I say. Genuinely the trip was very unique and a memorable one for us. All made possible by experienceKart. The van provided was very spacious and comfortable, plenty of room to stretch our legs and ample space for our belongings. Back up snacks and water at every stop and not forgetting the luxury of having free WiFi all the way. Karthik himself was very punctual, on time every stop as per the plan. Had a wealth of information about the cultural and historical aspects of country Aotearoa to share. Highly recommend to everyone the services of ExperienceKart. Many thanks to you Karthik for the dedication and passion you have in making every trip joyful and unique. Please keep doing so. Satish Brisbane.

I had the pleasure of taking the Rotorua cultural and geothermal tours with the tour guide Karthik from Experience Kart. We visited multiple bubbling mud pools, hot springs and geothermal landscapes. Also witnessed Māori traditional performances, engaged in traditional geothermal cooking methods to name a few. The weather was fantastic and very good scenery all through our drive to and from Auckland to Rotorua. I was honored to have Karthik chauffeur us for this tour as he himself is a encyclopedia of his own with in-depth knowledge and kept us informed all through. He possesses comprehensive knowledge of New Zealand Geography and culture, Māori heritage, and architectural evolution. He is also experienced in managing group dynamics, handling unexpected situations like weather changes, and coordinating with tour venues and restaurant for our lunch break. He also had bottled water, canned juices and snacks in the vehicle to keep us well fed to and from tour. What particularly attracted me to Rotorua cultural and geothermal tours were both the iconic landmarks and hidden gems of our spectacular bubbling hot mud pools. Thank you, Karthik, for your passion for creating unique, memorable experiences that go beyond typical sightseeing. I strongly recommend anyone and everyone, Karthik’s guiding expertise, cultural knowledge, and multilingual capabilities that can contribute to Tours continued success in creating unforgettable visitor experiences………………………..Rajesh Lal….

The Rotorua Cultural and Geothermal Small Group Tour with ExperienceKart was incredible! The Māori cultural performance and traditional hangi meal gave a genuine insight into New Zealand’s heritage, while the geothermal wonders at Wai-O-Tapu were simply breathtaking. The small group size made the experience personal and stress-free, and our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. Everything was well-organized, from the scenic drive to the thoughtful touches like bottled water. A perfect mix of culture, nature, and comfort — highly recommended!

The trip (Rotorua Cultural & Geothermal Small Group Tour From Auckland) exceeded my expectations. It was simply wonderful! Every single aspect of it made this memorable experience. In our small group, we visit a Maori village, including I walk in the forest, Springs and village guided by the most knowledgable and kind Māori relative. That was followed by a cultural show. We then visited geothermal sites, which were beyond fabulous. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The vehicle we travelled in was luxurious and the drive, smooth and full of beautiful vistas. I would definitely recommend this trip; thank you very much! I hope to take future trips with this company.

The tour guide’s enthusiasm and positive attitude was incredible. You are on the road on the way to the Maori for close to three hours. He used the time to share pertinent geologic and historic information. His focus on the volcanic aspects of the island was fascinating as was the geothermal section of the tour. The Māori section was as expected, but well done. (The food exceeded expectations.) The Māori guide was very generous with his time in a question and answer period. I highly recommend this tour.
