Great Way to See the Lakes - Impulse booking but well worth it. We did the longer tour which included going into 3 lakes. It was very enjoyable and Matt the driver (2 hours) and guide did a great job keeping us informed about the lakes and surrounding area and some of the history. He also had some good banter to get everyone laughing.

Rotorua Duck Tour - We had an unforgettable experience on the Rotorua Duck Tour, and Rileigh made the experience even better! Her enthusiasm, knowledge, and sense of humor made every moment engaging and enjoyable. From the fascinating stories about Rotorua's history to the breathtaking scenery we explored, Rileigh's expert guidance truly elevated the experience. We highly recommend the Rotorua Duck Tour to anyone visiting the area—it’s a must-do! And if you’re lucky enough to have Rileigh as your guide, you’re in for a real treat!

Fantastic experience - Fantastic experience! Our guide was great & hilarious. I think her name might have been Rileigh (she is from Milford Sounds). She was so informative & kept the tour lively.
