Rotorua and Taupo, connected by a one hour scenic drive are different in their own ways yet equally as beautiful. Rotorua, well known for its rich history of Maori culture and fascinating natural geothermal activity is a must see for anyone wanting to experience the heart and soul of New Zealand. Taupo boasts picturesque scenery in the Great Lake region plus a beautiful resort town which is a hub for events and activities year round. Both cater to all types of travellers with activities ranging from action packed white water rafting, ziplining through magical forests, and bungy jumping to more relaxing trout fishing or mud baths and mineral spa pools.

Great tasting vegetarian food. Choice of cream of tomato soup or Veg. Manchow. Both are very tasty, veg.Manchow is a bit spicy. Honey Chilly potato, dal fry and plain rice to share. Naan bread + main course each. Palak paneer (main) was a winner, even my 7year old daughter loved it. Vegetable fried rice that we ordered as an extra for my son was very nice. Banquette dishes are smaller size, but it should be expected with so many for 2 people. Don't forget a desert each! Great service! Relaxing atmosphere
食物味道好,服務生非常到位。
Great ride through the Redwood forest. The high quality Focus eMTB’s are the best way to experience as many trails as possible. The ride is tailored to your riding ability. Thijs proved a great guide and also provided us with photos of our ride. I would definitely recommend this tour
Joe took us out to the Redwoods with a couple of E-Mountain Bikes and it was wonderful. We're both beginner mountainbikers and we were guided through the different trails, levelling up as we progressed. We covered so many trails, it was amazing. I had a small accident, leaving me with a bruise and torn pants. Our guide was with me within one minute with a first aid kit, and even drove us to the nearby mall to get some new pants so we could continue. Epic service!
Amazing service, good food, everything very fresh. Large portions, except for dessert. We loved it!
The duck tour was awesome. The tour guide so friendly and great personality. My mum and daughter loved it. Lilly even got to drive the Duck.
Our tour guides was awesome..
Our guide shelly was awesome and bubbly. Fun for all ages, I even got to drive it!
Loved it, even though it can get chilly the experience was awesome
Fun and funny. Super duck driver. Lovely place. Thanks
This was so much fun and an opportunity not to be missed as how often would you get to go on a 1940 build duck.
It is easy for people to try, even it's your first time to kayak. We can see glow worm in a close up view, amazing!Remember to bring your swim suit, and wear jandal. You won't be too cold, cuz you are going to change to wet suit.
Delicious and big serving. Worth the effort to get Bookme voucher for cheaper price.
Great experience. Tour guide was amazing and shared lots of knowledge with us, was also very friendly and made us all feel at home during this trip. Highly recommended if you just want a quick tour around.
I had a hot chocolate and a Bacon Eggs Benedict. The food tasted great. Got more than I expected for the price I paid. I would recommend this place as a great little breaky stop while traveling in Rotorua.
What a must do!!! Lovely staff and the food was delicious. My children LOVED the waffles, bananas and bacon. Ever since we came to Fat Dog they have been screaming for those waffles again. Wish we could take the store to Auckland. Please open a store in Auckland!!!!
2nd year in a row great service & food, had salmon, very nice
Delicious and classic breakfast
Beautiful waffle: one whole waffle with bacon, banana, maple syrup, full cream; decorated with kiwifruit and a slice of orange. Its fresh fruit, soft waffle, beautifully setted.
Meal was divine Layed back atmosphere very relaxing

Had a great time
Loved the ambience and the 2 course meal worth every dollars we spent. The menu choice was great and finger licking curry. Highly recommended foodies experience.
Fantastic food, friendly staff, value for money, decent food portions
We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our Maori experience. It was entertaining, educational and fascinating. The people were great and clearly put their all into providing an engaging experience to everyone who attends. The food was delicious and there was plenty for everyone. I would 100% recommend this experience to all and will most certainly be taking the rest of my family and friends.
Staff were great kai was excellent i will definitely be back for more.
Even it's cheaper than others restaurants but pretty high quality they served Lovely dinner experience with India classic food
We really enjoy the experience, the Maori really friendly, humorous and want very much to expand and exchange their culture. And the meal is extremely stunning. Our driver is the best ever, very interesting and brought us endless joy on the way back. Will surely recommend it to other tourists.
All the perfomance are beyond my expectations. Detail of explaination on each activities make people understand more. Meaning of crafts at canoe, face and body well delivered by all of the staff in their own way. Even though at the beginning its quite scary during the warrrior dance because you can't smile but it's really worth it. Lady drive (KEA 🚌) make your journey before and after performance more enjoyable 🤗for her humorous and spontaneous song make all the passengers sing 🎶 along. Lovely. Love ❤️ it and recommended to all. Kia Ora
Great tour and it was done very well. I can see that the staff and people were dedicated and very passionate and proud of their culture. Food was fantastic and there were plenty to eat. Excellent value to get on bookme too
An absolute amazing experience being able to understand the history of Maori culture being able to get involved and sit back and enjoy the entertainment, plus there's hangi buffet at the end which was a winner great food! Great job guys thanks for making it a welcoming and excellent experience! Will Defo reccomend.
Thank you 😊 we had a great time on the 16th January! We were on the Takahe bus and A SHOUT OUT goes to our driver Mark who really added to the whole experience. He made us feel welcome from the moment we got on the bus. This is where our journey began! Thank you Tamaki Maori Village! What an experience worth doing!
