100% recommend! I’ve always wanted to explore Northland but never knew where to start so I was extremely lucky to have come across Jason and this amazing trip! Great itinerary, accommodation and delicious food.

Don’t think about it, JUST DO IT ! The guides Jason & Isaac were so humble, knowledgeable and accommodating. 100% recommend the tour, can’t wait for the South Island Tour ! Let’s goooo
Fantastic experience and worth every cent. Jason has very in depth knowledge on all the spots and will take you to a number of different locations you probably wouldn’t normally go to. Thoroughly recommend it for anyone considering it!

An epic way to arrive in Rotorua! 🇳🇿 with a Ohinemutu village tour! 🏠
This place is home to the Ngāti Whakaue tribe, a sub-tribe of the Te Arawa waka (canoe) which journeyed from the Pacific homeland of Hawaiiki to New Zealand around 1350AD
The location was chosen for its lakeside setting and abundant geothermal energy, used for cooking, bathing and heating 😱
