We took the all-day tour with Elite Adventures which did the Geo-thermal areas South of Rotorua in the am, and then Rotorua, hidden village, cultural center, etc. in the afternoon. Our guide was most informative on the culture, history, and political history of how this area of New Zealand came into its present day state. The sights, walks, and visited... More

We traveled with a group ranging from grandparents to children ages 8-17. Trent was a wonderful guide, sensitive to everyone's interests, taking pictures for us that are now memorable, pacing the tour . It is a day we will never forget. The 8 year old could not believe how tall Trent is and stuck close to him just to converse... More

There is so much to see in Rotorua that unless you are going to stay for a week or so the best way to go is with a guide and they don't come any better then Elite and in particular Trent. From being picked up on time at our door to drop off where we wanted it was a superbly... More

Wonderful guides with local knowledge, we enjoyed the half day geothermal tour with visits to mud pools, geysers and amazing landscaped in the volcanic valley around Rotorua. Highly recommend it! More

Went to waiotapo and wharewanga (sorry abt the spelling). I felt we could have seen more. A little rushed. Definitely worth to see these sights. The geyser is a little tacky. I believe all tours do the same routine. If u go on your own, probably better if u were renting a car anyway. Oh, when elite gives u a... More

I went on the Thermal Park Morning Tour with Elite Adventures Tours which was guided by Huru. The tour covers Wai-o-Tapu, Lady Knox Geyser, Waimangu Volcanic Valley and various volcanic & mud pools. I can't give the tour 5 points, rather something between 3 and 4. Yes, the scenery is spectacular, yes, the guide was very knowledgable (albeit a bit... More

our guide Huru was AMAZING, we unfortunately had no more time than half a day to spend with him and wished we could have stayed the full day, His comments, kindness and knowledge of the region and the Mauri people and history makes him a definite must to spend time with if you want a local view on Rotorua and...

It's all in the name.. I have just returned from a Morning Tour with Elite Adventures and from the moment I was greated by guide Huru I knew it was going to be an amayzing, unforgetable morning. From his gentlemen gestures to his vast knowledge of Maori Culture and of the area as a whole, it was my upmost plesure... More
