"Maori guide walked us through his village and answered everyone’s questions, learned so much about Maori culture. Never felt rushed. Loved seeing the geothermal pools."

"Iwe can not express high enough how wonderful this tour was for us. Steven our guide was brilliant. Hobbiton was fabulous. Went with Zealander tours afte ship cancelled our reservations. So glad we did price was 20% less than cruse ship. We booked online ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Our driver, Amanda, who drove us from Mt. Maunganui to Hobbiton and our tour guide Braden did a great job. Very enjoyable day. Would recommend it to any Hobbit fans."

"Wonderful adventure! Enjoyed even in the rain. The Mauri show was great. The thermal pools so interesting"

"It was the best day. The Te Puia Maori Cultural Centre - the Maori welcome, the show - absolutely wonderful. Walking around the hot springs, visiting the work studios, wood carving etc. excellent. Our tour guide made the experience even better. Rotorua is such a lovely place. Tauranga is beautiful. Thoroughly recommend doing this tour."

"Friendly, easy to find, full of helpful information. Really enjoyed the day! There is a little bit of walking on uneven ground but we are not particularly fit and had no issues. Beautiful scenery"

"Fabulous day! Kerry was an excellent tour guide and driver. We saw everything we wanted to see and got into areas the big buses couldn’t. Can’t beat this small group tour! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks again Kerry for a great day!"

"This was the best tour we did our whole trip. Jan was a great tour guide and we stopped at many places. My favourite was McLaren falls."

"Hannah and the team did a great job guiding us and being patient with me as it was my first time kayaking. Overall, I felt like I learned a new skill and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to try something new and cool!"

"It was amazing to see the glowworms in the caves, particularly on the boat ride in the dark. We were also lucky to see a baby Kiwi bird that was only a few days old! It would be even better, if the vehicle's air conditioning were working!"

"Loved the Te Puia cultural show and learning about the culture. Being able to actually see a kiwi bird was amazing."

"Great tour with Simon. He was very knowledgeable and took us to Rotorua, Redwoods and Māori village past Kiwi fruit"

"Patrick was the best tour guide, got an early start, we had plenty of time. Enjoyed the commentary, he answered all questions and made sure we knew where we were going. The whole was outstanding!! Thank you!"

"Wicked Wanders tour in Tauranga new Zealand. Hosted by Russell who was informative and genial. Great selection of city, beach and country sights and tastes"

"Thanks, Kerry, for a wonderfully enjoyable and informative day tour. Arrow Tours was already at the front gate of the cruise port in Tauranga when the ship arrived. We only had four of us on the minibus due to others not being well. We travelled many miles, firstly through the Mt Maunganui area and then with stops along the way, firstly to Lake Tarawera, long ago formed by volcanic activity, where we had a 15-minute coffee break at the lake’s café with stunning views, and nearby the Blue and Green Lakes. We travelled to picturesque Rotorua with steaming sulphur geysers, where we were entertained at the Whakarewarewa Māori Village with their cultural stories and dance. Lucky to have a small crowd at our visiting time we were able to become more personally involved. Next was a lunch stop (lunch was buy your own) at a pleasant café where they served the best milkshakes ever😉. Our final stop was at the redwood forest. We had great weather on the day so we all enjoyed it immensely. Thanks again to Kerry for his great yarns and informative knowledge of his local area and the culture."

"Great experience, awesome crew, it was one of my best tours ever!!! I enjoyed the trip, the dolphin watching, best were the baby’s with their mother!"

"Wendy was great! right on time for everything we did, knew heaps about the area, a fantastic driver and super friendly! highly recommend!"

"Absolutely great, strongly recommend! Never did rafting before and loved it! Watch out on sitting at the front - usually these people fell off during the waterfalls"
