Wai-O-Tapu & Rotorua Highlights Tour

Great experience! Spent the whole day out and exploring. The geothermal park where we hiked the whole park was the best. The drive to Rotorua and back into Auckland was nice, thank you to Dinesh who was an excellent driver.

Enjoyble and Pleasant Trip

Our day-trip to Wai-O-Tapu from Auckland was great and enjoyable. The place was unique and amazing. The trip became all the more memorable because of the value addition by Mr Ambrose, our guide and driver. His awesome commentry and description of the places and overall cultural heritage of New Zealand was really appreciable.
