To call this an amazing experience would be an understatement. - If you've never visited a Polynesian village before, this promises to be an eye-opening experience. You get to experience how the Maori people lived (and still do today!). You also get to see the wonders of geothermal power. From using it for cooking, to the healing powers of the mineral spas. This visit serves as a reminder that the best nourishment comes directly from mother nature. Lastly, I would like to extend a special thanks to our guide Huzefa for his dedication to giving us the best experience possible. His extensive knowledge of New Zealand definitely added a lot to our trip as we were visiting NZ for our first time.

Our great guide, Husefa. - This tour was amazing! Our guide, Husefa, made sure the ride was comfortable, pointed out all the sights on the way, suggested great spots for photos. He is very knowledgeable and gave us suggestions for later visits if Aukland and surroundings. We chose this tour because we wanted to experience Māori culture. With this tour you spend all day in Rotorua, including a guided tour of Whakarewarewa village which is an active Māori village where people live and work. The Maori guides are very passionate and we learned a ton. After the guided tour is a cultural show and Haka performance which was the highlight for us. After the show, we were free to walk around the geothermal park and explore all the mud pools and geysers at our own pace. From there, Husefa took us to the Polynesian spa, which was the perfect activity to wind down from the long day. We felt so relaxed. Thank you Husefa.

Amazing Trip - Highly recommended! Our guide Huzefah was absolutely amazing! He educated us about the floral/fauna, economics, culture and history of NZ, and notable sights on our ride to and from Rotorua. Whakarewarewa Village Is a must visit- learned so much about the Māori history/culture and experienced the boiling hot pools and geothermal geysers. The Paradise spa was a wonderful way to end the day.

“Exceptional Rotorua Tour with Knowledgeable Guide Huzefa and Insightful Maori Village Experience” - During my recent trip to Rotorua, I had an amazing experience thanks to an exceptional guide, Huzefena. He made our tour incredibly memorable by sharing his deep knowledge of Rotorua and the Maori culture. The visit to the Maori village was enriching, giving us a real insight into traditional practices and customs. Huzefena’s enthusiasm and expertise truly brought the experience to life, making it both educational and fun. Highly recommended for anyone looking to dive into the heart of Rotorua and its cultural heritage.
