I live in New Zealand but coordinated this activity with a visitor from Germany. We both really enjoyed this tour and learned a lot about Rotorua. Our guide Ollie was fun and entertaining. I would definately recommend!

My grandkids loved the whole experience. They would like the boat to drive faster into the water so it splashed over the roof🤣🤣🤣
