Was great to get up close with some of Rotorau's Lakes. Such beautiful scenery and information from our guide Ester that told the history of the area. Alex our driver also did a wonderful job.

It was fun to see the countryside with the forests and small lakes, a good look at New Zealand's terrain. And floating on the lakes is very pleasant.

As a māori decendant who was born & raised overseas it would be most appreciated to hear the māori names/words pronouced correctly. The guide was very knowledgable & very welcoming, but i would love to hear the guide try to pronounce our reo a bit better.

Great guide and wonderful experience. Great to hear the history and learn about the local area. Remember to tug up as it was very chilly on the afternoon trip.

This was great, staff very helpful and informative when booking and on the trip. Great visiting the three lakes and just driving in and motoring around. Saw some wildlife and really enjoyed Lake Tarawera especially. Learned a bit, heard a few great stories as we were driving - great fun!
