Rotorua á Pied
90 minutes, group of 5-10 people per tour $15 per person
Let yourself by led astray in Rotorua's historical district. Even if you've seen the sights before you'll find this walking tour of great interest with a professional guide's commentary at points where you stop along the way. (Enroute you can also check out your options to adjourn to a pleasant coffee shop afterwards!) The tour will operate in wet weather so pack your umbrella just in case.
Spirit of Tarawera
4 hours, group of 30-50 people$65 per person
After a short scenic drive from the city, step aboard a private luxury catamaran, the Clearwater Spirit, on spectacular Lake Tarawera. Enjoy the crystal clear water and mountain views as you cruise around the lake and visit a hot water beach. There will be an optional guided bush walk so wear suitable footwear. A delicious picnic lunch will be served onboard. This is an outing not to be missed!
See, Hear, Taste
2.5 hours, group of 10-20 people $45 per person
No visit to Rotorua is complete without some local Maori cultural experience. In this unique tour we offer you a combination you won't find in any tour brochure. Stroll to the Realm of Tane where you will be enchanted by their Maori story of creation and introduced to plants used for medicinal purposes as well as food. Continuing this theme you will stroll down the road a short way to join the charming Head Chef of the Millennium Hotel for a very tasty morning tea with a difference.
Art Up Close and Personal
3 hours, group of 20-25 people$60 per person
Travel to the homes of three fascinating local artists. Visit their studios where they will in turn discuss their art and attitudes. Learn about their different styles and processes and view their work in progress. Homemade afternoon tea will be served in one of their gardens. You should probably ensure you have your wallet with you in case you are tempted by any of their work!
