    The sulphur city of Rotorua, over 200 km south of Auckland, is known for its geothermal wonders, lakes and authentic Maori Experiences. On this tour we travel via New Zealand’s famous Thermal Explorer Highway touring route taking in the special region of Rotorua. Our very experienced and knowledgeable local Host-Guides will tell you about New Zealand and its extraordinary places you’ll see along the approximately 3 hour journey to the Sulphur City of Rotorua - one of New Zealand’s ‘hot spots’ and most visited tourism destinations. On the way to Rotorua, we drive through some truly beautiful countryside and can incorporate a tour of the Hobbiton Movie Set into this tour as an optional extra. As we approach our destination, if time permits, the Mamaku Blueberry Farm is worth a stop. Here we can have a break at the lovely café to see some real Kiwi ingenuity at work on this Blueberry Farm and Winery. In Rotorua there are many attractions and activities. There is something for everyone from relaxing spa treatments, geothermal parks with bubbling mud pools, shooting geysers, hot springs, bird and wildlife encounters, natural lakes, the Redwood Forest, mountains, active volcanoes to cultural and adventurous experiences such as Maori villages & evening dinner/concerts and white water rafting/zipline and more! As there is so much to choose from, we are happy to work in with your interests to maximise your time in Rotorua suited to your interests and budget.

    After finding TIME Unlimited Tours on TripAdvisor, I reached out to Ceillhe for help planning part of our New Zealand vacation. We are a family of six with four teens/young adults. Ceillhe not only saved us from my husband attempting to drive on the left, she also guided me in shaping our Rotorua itinerary. Though our time was limited, she listened carefully to our goals and tailored everything to our interests. Her lodging and activity recommendations were spot-on—from upgrading our glowworm cave visit to black water rafting at the Waitomo Caves, to adding cultural depth at Te Puia, and the wild fun of the ZORB. Perhaps most memorable was the drive itself, where we connected with Ceillhe and learned about New Zealand and Māori culture.

    A great day trip in the hands of our wonderful guide Kirsty. Saw all the relevant sites in Rotorua and the Te Puia geothermal and Māori experience is a must. Exceptional little touches with water and snacks in the Mercedes people carrier. Whilst Te Puia was an extra charge you can tailor your day to suit your own preferences. Overall great value for a private 11 hour trip.

    We had engaged Ceillhe and Neill before Covid and finally 4 years later we got to Auckland and it was worth the wait. We spent over three days and two nights on tour, from Auckland, to Rotura, to Hobbiton, to Sanctuary Mountain. We had the best care, We enjoyed the luxury, the education, and the care that was provided. The tour was personalized for us. We learned of New Zealand, its peopls including the Maori (Ceillhe is Maori). We highly recommend this tour, but only if you want the best. We met Neill and Ceillhe as Tour Guides, we left them as family. Our highest recommenmdation Alex and Madelyn
