Quick and easy way to see the forests and lake of Rotorua whilst also getting in a bit of thrill seeking. A good time was had.

Our guide Eze was great. Enthusiastic, informative and just outright fun. He took some special pictures with special effects using our cameras that turned out great. After the drive through the hills and then through the rainforest we got to shoot skeet, and again Eze and his partner were extremely helpful and fun in helping us with the skeet shooting. I highly recommend this experience if you visit Rotorua!!!

Our driver was Isaac he was excellent driver. He helped us with our photo, we felt safe. He was knowledgeable with the history.
Dameeko (hope I have spelt it right) was so helpful with our booking and very friendly.
I would recommend this ride to anyone.
The one thing I would recommend is to make a video of the ride I would have brought one on the day. ????
