Excellent Tour- must do! - We had a great experience on this tour. Our guide, Dong, was extremely friendly, professional, and clearly knew the area very well. He kept the day running smoothly, made sure we stayed on schedule, and shared helpful information and local insights along the way. He was very patient and attentive, always checking in to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the trip. Having a knowledgeable and considerate guide like Dong really made the long day much more enjoyable.
The tour itself is about 12 hours since the distance from Auckland is quite long, and at times it can feel a little rushed. But it’s absolutely worth it because you get to cover several spectacular spots in one day. The scenery on the drive is incredible and really gives you those Lord of the Rings vibes with the rolling green landscapes.
If you’re trying to save time, we’d suggest skipping the Lady Knox Geyser show, especially if you’re not traveling with kids. Overall, though, it was a beautiful, memorable day and a great way to see some of the North Island’s highlights.

Wonderful experience! - It was a wonderful and well planned tour! Our tour guide Min was polite, organized, knowledgable, not only making sure we had good time in each location, but also helping us taking pictures, making us feel comfortable during car rides. All spots, like Huka Falls, Blue Springs, Thermal Park and others were so beautiful, breathtaking! Min and Han (the person I contacted through email) were also very flexible and prompt on what we want to tweak based on our preferences. We truly had unforgetable experience with their help!

The best trip you can only meet in New Zealand - Looking for a travel offer to start out in Auckland, I discovered Oh!HAPPYTour and was able to make a truly impressive memory with my parents. We provided both pick-up and drop-off to the Airbnb address we stayed at, and our guide (Kim Hyun) drove us safely for close to eight hours back and forth. It was especially good that you added Orakei Korako to your schedule that you wanted to visit before. If you want to experience the vast scale of geothermal zones in Orakei Korako, which is not yet well known, we highly recommend using Oh!HAPPYTour! Don't miss out on the guides' friendly and detailed explanations and memorial photos with a wonderful view :)

Huka Falls, Waitapu and Blue Springs All in One Day - Huka Falls, Waitapu, Taupo and Blue Springs are included this Tour. It may be a long drive from Auckland, but our Tour Guide and Driver Sheehan made us all comfortable. He took us to these beautiful places and showed us where to get the best view for pictures and videos. Waitapu is indeed a geothermal wonderland. Taupo is teeming with restaurants and cafes where you can take your lunch before the next adventure. We were in awe when we saw Huka Falls and the Blue Springs. So beautiful! The owner Han is very responsive to our queries as we prepare for our trip as well. Oh!HappyTours took care of everything for us to enjoy our trip!
Thank you Sheehan and Han for the personalized deluxe service!
