Highlights:
• Hobbiton & Alexander Family Sheep Farm
• Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Park

• Rotorua City Highlights

Led by our passionate tour guides, notorious for bringing your journey to life, sharing their stories and background knowledge, and run in modern minibuses packed with extras ensuring your comfort and safety.
