My husband and i were in Rotorua as part of our honeymoon in NZ. We hadn't booked any tours but came across this half day tour with Elite Adventures Rotorua.

Thank you Trent for sharing your culture with a couple from the US. You allowed us to experience your love of the land, the people and culture.

We had a fascinating half day tour. Huru picked us up from our hotel and gave us a personal insight into the Maori culture incorporating the historical and present day issues in a sensitive way.

We took a half day trip with Elite Adventures -- if and when you go, ask for Trent (owner) if you can get him.

Imagine a place where 150... More

My party of three spent a wonderful day with Trent. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and Maori culture with a friendly delivery. He put together a great tour for us-one that was filled with activity but not overdone. I wouldn't think of using anyone else in the area!

I always prefer tours with few people and this was one of those that paid off. Brent arrived before than the big buses and he had a contagious excitement about all this place! He really loves and enjoy to show this region. The vulcanic pools are amazing!
