Wai-O-Tapu & Rotorua Highlights Tour
Great experience! Spent the whole day out and exploring. The geothermal park where we hiked the whole park was the best. The drive to Rotorua and back into Auckland was nice, thank you to Dinesh who was an excellent driver.

Enjoyble and Pleasant Trip
Our day-trip to Wai-O-Tapu from Auckland was great and enjoyable. The place was unique and amazing. The trip became all the more memorable because of the value addition by Mr Ambrose, our guide and driver. His awesome commentry and description of the places and overall cultural heritage of New Zealand was really appreciable.

Thanks for making the most of my trip
I did research for the best things to do in such a short time in NZ. I chose ENZOY TOURS/Rotorua Trip because of availability and best value. From start to finish the experience could not have been better. The tour guide Ambrose was right on time, he shared valuable information and history of each place visited, recommended the best spots and was very patience with pictures. The tour managed to complete the entire itinerary without feeling rushed but instead making it fun and enjoyable. Grateful for making the most of my trip in my short stay.
