Fantastic!

Great morning, our tour guide/driver was very informative and gave us lots of extra information about New Zealand on the drive. We visited the mud baths, thermal pools and a geyser, all in all a fab tour!

Amazing and otherworldly

Geoffrey was a fantastic punctual guide and driver and his hybrid vehicle is very comfortable. He provided fantastic commentary during the journeys to and from. During the walk around it is a self guided walk to explore the hot springs, mud pools and lakes. The geyser eruption was also great. We had a wonderful visit and would highly recommend a visit even if you go into Rotorua town to see the pools there, it’s still worth the journey out to see the scale these amazing natural wonders.

Amazing!

Geoff was a lovely guy who could tell us loads about our surroundings and gave us some insider tips for the geothermal park! The bus felt very luxerious, not something we’re used to as backpackers :) Would definitely recommend!
