As a māori decendant who was born & raised overseas it would be most appreciated to hear the māori names/words pronouced correctly. The guide was very knowledgable & very welcoming, but i would love to hear the guide try to pronounce our reo a bit better.

Great guide and wonderful experience. Great to hear the history and learn about the local area. Remember to tug up as it was very chilly on the afternoon trip.

This was great, staff very helpful and informative when booking and on the trip. Great visiting the three lakes and just driving in and motoring around. Saw some wildlife and really enjoyed Lake Tarawera especially. Learned a bit, heard a few great stories as we were driving - great fun!

Memorable boat tour! Our guide was awesome and left me in fits of laughter. He was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. However the bus ride was extremely cold and I wish I had been warned before booking that I would need a warm jacket. Could the bus be fitted with heaters
