A great way to see the topography of North Island NZ the first day. The 2nd and 3rd day had very cool events we thoroughly enjoyed.
We highly recommend.

The bus ride from Wellington to Auckland was chaotic. A train from Wellington to Rotorua would have been much better. The hotel in Rotorua was not a very good experience. The tour bus drivers were very good

I never left any negative feedback, but this one review, anyone who wants to join this tour should reconsider. DO NOT JOIN THIS Horrible Tour Company (Canterbury Leisure Tours, Christchurch). They let a taxi driver dropped us off at a intercity coach bus terminal instead of hotel pick up as promised in tour detail, No tour guide or instruction of which coach bus to get on, so we got on the wrong bus all the way to Auckland, they were slow to react to your help request during the bus journey. The tour office closed at 5pm, We ended up in Auckland 2 days earlier than the tour even started, no assistance whatsoever from the office except telling me that I could have gotten off at the next station and get uber back to Rotorua myself. So Irresponsible and disturbing. The tour company had been ignoring all my emails asking for help or refund since 5 pm, the day I missed the correct bus stop.
