I did a full day tour (Ultimate Escape) with Trent and was very happy with it. I was the only person doing the tour that day, but nevertheless they organised it. Trent is a superb guide and I got excellent value for my money.

We were on a cruise and spent our day in Tauranga/Rotarua area on a tour provided by Elite Adventures. Our guide, Huru, offered so much history and insight into his native Maori culture, while escorting us through the exotically beautiful geothermal areas!

Our guide, Karl, was very knowledgeable and informed us about Mauri culture. He... More

Our guide was most informative on the culture, history, and political history of how this area of New Zealand came into its present day state. The sights, walks, and visited... More
