An Unforgettable Rotorua Experience - We did a private tour to Rotorua to visit Te Puia and the Polynesian spa as recommended to us based on the preference of our group. Our guide Jose was very energetic, and he made the journey to Rotorua a lot of fun. Te Puia is a beautiful cultural experience - we started off with a guided tour which has a lot of offers - We got to witness works from the weaving school, stone and bone carving & wood carving. The geothermal valley was breathtaking, and watching the geyser erupt was a highlight. We even got to see the famous kiwi bird. The second part of the tour perfectly balanced our day with a luxurious soak in the mineral pools of the Polynesian Spa. We were pampered in the deluxe spa, which had excellent facilities, including towels, showers, and clean changing rooms. It was the best way to end the day - we could have stayed here all day in this cold weather. This was our second tour with Jose, and it exceeded our expectations once again.
