New Zealand bucket list trip
New Zealand

May 21 - May 31, 2026
Best excursions were the glow worm kayak at night and the funyak trip on the Dart River. Rotorua was a pleasant surprise how much I liked the area. What a relief to have a trip all planned out and well timed! Thanks Liz!
Hotel Reviews
Great location!
The room was huge and well located in town
Wow! The view out the window! Ski lodge vibes.
Beautiful hotel. We stayed here for the view but from our room it was obstructed by another building unfortunately. Great restaurant! Amazing staff who literally do it all - bar tend, shuttle driver, receptionist. Only complaint was too far to walk every time. About 40 min to town center.
Activity Reviews
Glad we made the waterfall overlook. Not sure it would have been worth it if we didn’t. Same drive as Glenorchy tour and funyak tour.
Great way to start our NZ adventure
Amazing!!! Just blown away by detail and the ability to go inside a hobbit hole!
Fun way to get to the top. Great view and nice restaurant
My adult kids loved the cultural show. They were worried it would be in some way disrespectful to the Māori people and were really impressed with the care and authenticity of the production. Plenty of food!
This was very informational and we enjoyed the stroll around the geothermal area after our tour was done.
One of my favorite experiences of the whole trip.
We could have skipped this. Nice guide but basically got to see all of the same area on funyak trip
We had a partially cloudy night )4 stars because of that) but had an amazing guide to make up for it. What a great set up they have!
Well organized experience
Liked it much more than I expected from the pics! Definitely worth doing.
Beautiful area to zip line through.
So beautiful! So much fun!
Beautiful cruise out to station. Enjoyed the sheep show.
Hello Colleen and Jeff,
