Amazing experience! - Me and my husband went and we got to learn tons of interesting and amazing things about Rotorua and the sites we saw but also about New Zealand's early history, we loved knowing what our beloved Kiwis are called that name. It was wonderful to spend time at the spa, one of the most beautiful spa's we have ever visited. The view is just stunning. Our guide David was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and always ready to help us with anything we needed. He actually ran to us to give us umbrellas when some mild rain started to fall. He also showed us a place visited more by locals than turists and it was wonderful. This is a must do activitie!
