What an excitement - This was such an amazing ride for myself and my twin. We did this for our 50th, thank you so much to our guide. I'm so sorry I forgot his name, as we have done a lot o stuff in Rotorua this week. He was very knowledgeable about the lake and told us stuff that even I didn't know which was really cool. Very friendly team. Ngà mihi

Full of joy and excitement - We had a wonderful experience and enjoyed it with the whole family. The boat driver was very cheerful and friendly. The explanations were very comprehensive and included jokes. The spinning the boat around in the water was something we really loved.
