Mount Tarawera Hilke - Feb 7, 2025

Published on Feb, 2025

If you are in Rotorua, the hike up Mt. Tarawera is a must-do if you are physically able. Not gonna lie - it’s a bit strenuous at times, but doable if you are moderately fit and coordinated. Our guides were Chucky and Deborah. Both were awesome. Enjoyed hearing about the Māori history of the area from Chucky

Great adventure

Published on Feb, 2025

Epic adventure with incredible views. We had Chucky and Taiwera as our guides. Both brilliant and a wonderful representation of New Zealand. Both are locals, who showcase the best of Maori. Knowledgeable, beautiful, great sense of humour and adventure and they really took care of us all. Chucky also is the Queen of taking fantastic photos.
