8 places sorted by featured
- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Vijay LKuopio, Finland6 contributionsThis was one of the most fascinating experiences I've ever had thanks to tour & travel . A special thanks goes to Linda, who was our guide for the day. I really appreciated her warm welcome and conversation throughout the day. Overall highly recommended if you are in this city.Written 19 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ally Moloney19 contributionsLoved the information about Rotorua and the history of the Duck. The scenery was beautiful. I loved going from land to lake and back again. But mostly, our guide Esther was hilarious and made the whole experience so much fun.Written 6 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HS L4 contributionsThe day trip was perfect, especially thanks to our guide, Jenny. She was an experienced guide and was absolutely fantastic! The scenery was breathtaking, and her explanations were very professional. I strongly recommend this day trip. It was well worth it!Written 31 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 456brianlAdelaide, Australia229 contributionsWe also have a boat cruise as part of the tour, it worth every pennies. The walk was relatively easy, had a late 70s traveling with us, no problem at all.
The day was overcast and drizzle a bit unfortunately but that’s part of the nature! There are some picnic tables and seats, bring some food and drinks with you for the walk. Visitor centre’s staff was great.
The commentary on the boat was excellent, loved kiwi’s sense of humour :)Written 9 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My partner and three kids loved it and they all Whakapapa to Te Arawa so it was awesome confirmation and learnings for themWritten 14 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Murty CColumbia, MD143 contributionsI took this half day tour because I had limited time. It turned out to be a very informative and pleasant tour. Our guide, Trent, is of Māori heritage and proved to be extremely knowledgeable about Rotorua and Māori /New Zealand culture & history. He was also punctual, patient, and had a modern minibus (with good air conditioning, which proved valuable on the warm day). We visited principally the Te Puia, which combines a Māori cultural institute with geothermal geysers and a Kiwi conservation center and a gift shop. We also visited the grounds of the Tudor-style Rotorua Museum and the Blue and Green Lakes.
It was a perfect outing for me , and I enjoyed lots of interesting conversations with Trent. I am sure that the full day tour would be even better and I highly recommend this company.Written 8 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We hiked in two distinctly different parts of the rainforest while Tom shared fascinating information about the 1000 year old trees, unique soil and more. Midday, we took a break to enjoy a lovely picnic lunch which Tom had brought.
We concluded with beautiful drive through the countryside back to Rotorua.
We highly recommend Tom and his company as your Rotorua guide choice. Tom is professional, reliable, knowledgeable and engaging!!Written 23 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
