Review of Taupō’s 2.5-hour luxury catamaran cruise to Māori Rock Carvings, with sailing, swimming, mountain views, and practical tips.

“Lovely sailing trip on lake Taupo to see the rock carvings. Gorgeous boat, really friendly crew that were very informative, and fantastic commentary. Unfortunately no wind on the day I went, but still worth the catamaran as you get to see right at the front of the boat and have an unhindered view of the carvings and the mountains around.”

Review of FlexiToursNZ’s Hobbiton and Rotorua day tour from Auckland, with transport, Te Puia lunch, costs, timing, guides, and practical tips.

“What a wonderful tour - really, everything you want: a nice early start to get to Hobbiton before the big crowds arrive, terrific lunch at Te Puia and LOTS to do and see there: the thermal pools and geysers, Maori crafts institute, and don’t miss seeing live kiwi birds! Well organized tour, and if you can, go with driver/guide Darryl, who is super knowledgeable, good natured, patient, and can tell you which side of the Hobbiton bus to sit on to get the best view coming into the movie set! Thanks so much for a great day!”
