After doing the 'wild west' tour with Aled, it was great to have him again for the full day tour of Rotorua. Aled is engaging, knowledgeable and great company. He is born to be a tour guide. I selected to do the Rotorua Highlights tour including Wai-O-Tapu & Polynesian Spa. We got to Rotorua and saw Lady Knox Geyser bubble and shoot up. Next the amazing Wai-O-Tapu. I was worried about walking it all with my bad back, but I was fine and worth it. Next was the Polynesian Spa. It was really relaxing. But remember to drink plenty of water because I probably didn't and gave myself a migraine. Thankfully Aled was really understanding and stopped when I needed to stop and I got over it. Overall, a spectacular day (except for the migraine!).

It was an informative, cultural, and all-encompassing trip. I selected the Wai-O-Tapu and Te Puia option and I’m so glad I did. I’ve seen some of the most beautiful natural formations and got to look into Māori culture and learn new things about it. Our tour guide, John, also made the trip more memorable by his fun personality. He is very educational and communicative, and made everyone feel included. He shared a lot of interesting and funny stories/facts during the drive. I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone who is in NZ and would like to make the most out of it in one day.

John made this tour special, awesome energy and great conversations. Wai-O-Tapu self guided tour allowed freedom to explore at one's pace. Optional add ons are well coordinated. Overall a relaxed tour.

This is a fast and furious day from Auckland to Rotorua and back which is just what I wanted. Faced with not much time, I had to make decisions as to what I wanted to see and what I could skip and this tour was perfect. I opted for the Wai-o-Tapu and Te Puia segments. The tour is essentially your transportation and travel agent for the day; the guide makes sure you get to where you need to go in a timely manner. When you get to your "excursions" the guide may hang around or make their way to pick up/drop off another part of your small group. For my excursions, I joined a timed tour or walked around the area as a self-guide. Wai-O-Tapu was a MUST DO! There were surprises around every corner.

Very rushed. Only got to spend an hour at the warm pools. Majority of the day was spent just traveling in the van.

It is always amazing to see what nature has to offer on the other side of the world!!! Definitely worth going and seeing. Just be aware most of your day is going to be spen in a car travelling. Our group was a bit rushed at some of the tour events but that is understandable as people were doing different activities. Wai-O-Tapu is worth the trip itself :) Our driver/guide Dean was terrific. He had a lot of knowledge and his management skills of keeping everyone informed were great!!

The trip was very well organised from pickup to drop off on time as planned. The transport was comfortable with snacks and water available. The guide Honuz was very friendly giving us history of local attractions on the road. He took very well managed breaks which made the long drive pass smoothly and everyone had the chance to eat and be energised.

Simon is an amazing guide. Friendly, funny, informative. Wai O Tapu is beautiful and a nice light walk. Highly recommend the secret spot hot tub add-on as well.
