Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for joining us

Wärmste Empfehlung!

Ich habe beide Shuttle-Touren nach Wai o Tapu und Waimangu-Tal an zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen gemacht. Für mehr Zeit vor Ort bucht am besten morgens! Karen und Slim bieten nicht nur einen großartigen und zuverlässigen Shuttleservice, sondern auch Einblicke in die beiden geothermischen Stätten. Die Zeit vergeht wie im Flug, während sie ihr Wissen weitergeben. Stellt ihnen alle Fragen!

Tolles Angebot!

Das Shuttle ist nur weiterzuempfehlen! Das Ehepaar, dem das Unternehmen gehört, ist sehr lieb und erzählt auf der Fahrt schon vieles zu den Geothermalgebieten. Man hat genug Zeit um alles zu erkunden. Würde jederzeit wieder mit ihnen buchen.

Supertoller Trip

Die Buchung über bookme hat bestens funktioniert, sehr einfach und zuverlässig. Der Shuttle war pünktlich, und unsere beiden Guides Caren und Slim waren großartig. Sehr freundlich, und sie gaben uns viele Informationen über Geschichte, Entwicklung, Geothermie, und alles was wir wissen wollten. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Thank you Nana. We had a great day showing you around our backyard.

Great experience

The shuttle worked great and comes with the add on of Karen & Slim being such lovely people, who are happy to share their knowledge about the region. The walk in the Waimangu park is very nice with awesome views and the self guiding broschure offers a lot of information about the place. At the 9:15 tour it was almost empty. You can catch the bus at the lake at 12:35 for the pickup at 1pm.
